Little racket from Rickey.(Brief Article)
As the final week of the season began, Rickey Henderson was about to pass two more milestones: Ty Cobb's record 2,245 career runs and the 3,000-hit plateau, a level only 24 players have attained. And to hear him talk, there's nothing to it.
"I feel so relaxed and loose right now that I can hit anything," Henderson says. "I feel that good at the plate. Right now, I can hit in my sleep."
He's feeling so good, in fact, that he insists he isn't finished. If somebody will have him next year, Henderson will be back for his 24th season.
Whenever he does finally hang 'em up, he'll hold at least four career records: stolen bases, walks, runs and leadoff home runs.

In fact, it took an e-mail from the Padres' public relations office to remind the national media that he was close.
