Rickey Henderson, a Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and the sport's all-time leader in stolen bases, has died at the age of 65.

The news of his death was reported by multiple news sources on Saturday.

Henderson, who is considered by many to be the greatest lead-off hitter in baseball history, played for nine franchises over his unprecedented 25-year MLB career from 1979-2003, most notably with the Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees.

A 10-time All-Star, Henderson won the 1990 AL MVP Award and won two World Series titles.

He is baseball's all-time leader in stolen bases (1,406), runs scored (2,295) and lead-off home runs (81).

Henderson became baseball's all-time leader in stolen bases on May 1, 1991, when he broke Lou Brock's record of 939.

In 1982, he set a single-season record with 130 steals - one of three seasons he stole at least 100 bases.

Not only was Henderson dangerous on the base paths, but he was also a solid hitter, batting .279 with 297 home runs, 510 doubles and 1,115 RBIs to go with 2,190 walks in his 3,081 games played.

His walk total ranks second all-time behind all-time home run leader Barry Bonds, and only three players appeared in more games.
