Thinking Outloud By Kelly Ninas

Using the rewind button, how many people can rewind years and even decades to the beginning of their athletic careers or remember who your favorite sports teams and/or athletes were? I have been an Oakland Athletics fan for as long as I can remember and that isn’t only because of the ‘Bash Brothers’, Dave Stewart or Dennis Eckersley; but Rickey Henderson. Henderson was a great all-around baseball player in my opinion and I would genuinely discuss in-depth with anybody that tried to tell me differently. His name was- n’t always in lights, but he did his part to make the team better. It all started because they were good but also because I have always been a big fan of the color green.
