A different type of profile of Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, one that looks at the pitchers who did the best/worst against him, his results vs. teams, in stadiums, and more interesting trivia.
Forgive me, but Rickey's 1990 MVP season was with the A's, not the Yankees. His stint with the Yankees was from 1985 through almost halfway through 1989, when he was traded back to the A's, (where he won his first World Series ring that year.)
That five stolen base game on July 29, 1989, was against Randy Johnson of the Mariners. All five stolen bases were off Randy Johnson in his six innings pitched.

Good catch! I've updated the article to remove that erroneous reference.
I am pleased I was able to help!
I purchased your book Now Taking The Field. I am finding it fascinating!
