I don't have Rickey as #1, but I'll say this much....
Rickey Henderson might be the most under-appreciated baseball player ever.
Someone once said if you cut Rickey Henderson in half...you'd have 2 hall of famers.
He was that good.
The cacs would say Babe Ruth, but no one is fukking with Willie Mays, and Prime Ken Griffey, jr. when it comes to all-around baseball.

It's Bonds, but because of the steroid shyt (and the general 
nature of baseball) he'll never be universally recognized as that.
If you wanna exclude Bonds for the steroids, it's probably Willie Mays then.

Nah.. Babe Ruth had the illest steez though 
When Bill James wrote his Historical Baseball Abstract book in 2001, he had Willie Mays 3rd and Oscar Charleston 4th best ever.
People are well aware of the greatness that existed in the Negro Leagues.
For frame of reference, he rated Bonds 16th (and he didn't know Bonds was juicing at the time)
