Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice headline the Class of 2009 at today's induction ceremonies at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. Rickey was a first-ballot shoo-in; Rice got the nod in his fifteenth and final year of eligibility.
Henderson got 94.7% of the vote. Excuse me? Who didn't vote for Rickey? That's like not voting for jelly in the "what else should I put in my peanut butter sandwich?" vote.

On an MLB network commercial, someone does the funniest imitation of Rickey Henderson hitting a home run. Also, on that commercial, Rickey teaches a trick on how not to get picked off 2nd that stuns the retired players he's talking to. He's one of a kind.
