In addition to being widely considered the greatest leadoff hitter of all time, Henderson was one of the real characters of the game. While his signing habits for fans were somewhat inconsistent throughout his career, Henderson did sign a large number of items through various companies during his playing career and beyond. The appearance of his autograph has remained remarkably consistent for over three decades. You will see some variation to his signature during his first few years in Oakland and these examples are often considered the most desirable by advanced collectors. Henderson remains a fixture on the show circuit for those still seeking an in-person signature from baseball’s all-time stolen base leader.
