Henderson is the best leadoff hitter of all-time, arguably. Winfield has
meant more to his team than Henderson. Unlike daryll, henderson tries
hard. He is an amazing centerfielder. Rickey is VERY good, maybe better
than winfield, I was angry at the dissing of winfield. Though Winfield has
been better than henderson lately. Check the numbers, winfield may
surprise you. He will have 3000 basehits, and should have 500 homeruns
when he retires(wishful thiniking if he plays to 45)
