Rickey Henderson RIP!


Oh wow so this just broke, and it's breaking my soul! I grew up idolizing this man and watching him play while living in California. By far the worlds all time best lead off hitter, and stolen base icon! Not only was he this in Americas MLB but he's considered the greatest at what he did on any continent when it comes to baseball. This man will always be a major icon in the sport. Cannot believe this but. Rickey Nelson Henley Henderson , nicknamed "Man of Steal", played 25 seasons in Major League Baseball for nine teams from when he made his debut in 1979 until he hung up his cleats in 2003 he accumulating 111.1 WAR in his 25 MLB seasons. This including four separate tenures with his original team, the Oakland Athletics.

Rickey is also the all-time leader in runs scored. He was named the American League MVP in 1990 after leading the AL with a 1.016 OPS, 65 stolen bases and 119 runs scored. He also played for the Yankees, Padres, Mets, Mariners, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Angels and Dodgers. But to us all he will always be a member of the Oakland A's during the BASH BROTHERS ERA, and he was the man who did most damage batting 1st than anyone EVER! He is a major factor why they had so much fun in Oakland in the late 80s. Rickey Henderson's wife, Pamela, confirmed her husband's death in a statement.

"A legend on and off the field, Rickey was a devoted son, dad, friend, grandfather, brother, uncle, and a truly humble soul. Rickey lived his life with integrity, and his love for baseball was paramount. Now, Rickey is at peace with the Lord, cherishing the extraordinary moments and achievements he leaves behind," Said Pamela. "For multiple generations of baseball fans, Rickey Henderson was the gold standard of base stealing and leadoff hitting. Rickey was one of the most accomplished and beloved Athletics of all-time," MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. "He also made an impact with many other clubs during a quarter-century career like no other. Rickey epitomized speed, power and entertainment in setting the tone at the top of the lineup. When we considered new rules for the game in recent years, we had the era of Rickey Henderson in mind.

"Rickey earned universal respect, admiration and awe from sports fans. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I send my deepest condolences to Rickey’s family, his friends and former teammates, A’s fans and baseball fans everywhere." Henderson won two World Series, one with the A's in 1989 and another with Toronto four years later. Henderson became MLB's all-time stolen bases leader May 1, 1991, when he swiped third base in Oakland. He finished with 1,406 in his career, surpassing Lou Brock by nearly 500 bags. Henderson also retired with 2,295 runs scored, 50 more than Ty Cobb. His 3,055 hits are 27th all-time.

His 130 stolen bases in 1982 are the most in the live ball era. He and Vince Coleman are the only players since 1920 to have three seasons of at least 100 stolen bases. Henderson swiped 50-plus bags in 13 seasons, the most ever. The amount of awesome that was his career is unmatched by ANY lead off man in the sport, and will remain so forever I feel. What a true legend... 

Rest in PEACE!

Drone 'Crashes' At Nantucket Airport

More Drone news as reports are in that another one has 'Crashed' this one at the "Nantucket Memorial Airport" In Massachusetts, Flight Operations Unaffected A drone weighing over half a pound crashed on Sunday night authorities released a statement regarding the crash. "At approximately 0730 on Sunday, December 15th, Airport Operations staff recovered a drone from the airfield. The drone was discovered on an area of pavement reserved for the safe operation of the aircraft. The discovery was immediately reported to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration."

The statement further assured that "flights were not impacted, and there were no reported threats to the aircraft." The drone that was discovered from the airport site was described as a small multi-rotor drone weighing under one pound.

Just days ago in Massachusetts chief of police said residents spotted 10-15 drones above a house and The chief of police in Harwich, Massachusetts. According to a release from Harwich Chief of Police Kevin Considine, a resident called police to report "unknown drone activity over her house" on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 9 p.m. "The resident could not hear the drones but stated they were very bright, and she observed them for over an hour," Considine said. The local's report was corroborated by a Harwich officer who spotted similar drone activity while on patrol. "We have forwarded all the information we have received to the Boston FBI and the Massachusetts State Police," he said. "We will continue to work with our state and federal partners."

The sighting in Massachusetts adds the Bay State to a growing list of states that are experiencing mysterious drones in the night sky. "These drones are similar to the ones reported over the last couple of weeks over New Jersey, New York and most recently over Connecticut," he said. Well I got some answers for this folks, and what I've been informed is that what most people have been watching as "Drones" go are due to an explosion in the sales Market for these things.

The latest craze are Drones, and StealthBird Carbon The World's First Affordable Military-Grade Drone which has been marketing online for months and selling like hot cakes for months! By the THOUSANDS! So you don't think you will see them all over the place now? Come on people! Now yes some of these things are not Drones and some of what people are catching in the skies are possibly UFO's/UAP's or some sort of other high tech spy device from say CCP or Russia or one of our favorite countries which hate us... Perhaps IRAN? 

But as for this high powered classified military tech is becoming more and more available to people yes we will see more and more out in the skies. Like the StealthBird which is powered by and patented StealthHawk® technology. It’s the same tech found in ‘spy drones’ military operators use for recon missions optimized for civilian everyday use. When used this device can get some real good breathtaking 4K-quality HD footage, has unmatched stability according to it's pitch, and easy-to-use controls. This is what's always made me iffy about them the controls. This one is said to be top notch, and it doesn’t stop there. It also features a special anti-collision system that helps the StealthBird Carbon avoid crashes. And, since it’s based on military-grade materials, it’ll survive almost any weather condition or impact.
