WHEN RICKEY HENDERSON BROKE LOU BROCK'S major league record for stolen bases ten years ago, the mercurial star was home free.

Even the world's greatest felon couldn't swipe the crown back from Henderson.

In fact, Henderson's single-season and career base-stealing records rank among baseball's most elusive records, his pursuers concede.

"There's no way they'll ever be broken," said Tom Goodwin, the Dodgers' top base stealer. "It's that simple."

"It's all over. Forget about it," added Craig Biggio, Houston's veteran second baseman who played catcher earlier in his career.

Henderson's numbers are staggering: In 1982, he stole 130 bases; through September 27, 2001, his 22nd, he had swiped 1,395 playing for the Oakland Athletics, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, Anaheim Angels, New York Mets and Seattle Mariners.

Going into the final week of the '01 season, Roger Cedeno of the Tigers (55) and Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners (53) were the only major leaguers with more than 50 stolen bases.
