Rickey Henderson, the leader of Major League Baseball’s stolen baseball career, has died at age 65, according to multiple reports Saturday.

TMZ reported that Henderson died near Oakland on Friday after being briefly hospitalized with pneumonia, while the San Jose Mercury-News said a family statement confirming his death was expected later Saturday.

Henderson played 24 MLB seasons for nine different clubs from 1979 to 2003, including four stints with the Oakland A’s, with whom he won a World Series title in 1989.

Henderson also won a World Series crown in 1993, three months after being traded from Oakland to Toronto.

Nicknamed “The Man of Steal,” Henderson holds MLB records with 1,406 stolen bases and 2,295 career runs scored, and set the single-season record of 130 stolen bases in 1982. No other player has 100 steals in a season.

The ten-time All-Star outfielder was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year in 2009.

Henderson, who would have turned 66 on Christmas, finished the game with 3,055 hits, 297 home runs and 1,115 runs batted in for a .279 batting average.

He was named the American League’s Most Valuable Player in 1990, the 12 seasons in which he was the AL stolen base leader.

In 1991, Henderson broke Lou Brock’s old MLB stolen base record by stealing his 939th career base.
