August 14, 1998
On this day in 1998, at Tiger
Stadium in Detroit, Oakland Athletics outfielder Rickey Henderson becomes the
oldest player in Major League history—at the age of 39—to steal 50 bases in one
season. It was the fourteenth time (and would be the last time) in his career
that Henderson stole at least 50 bases in one season. He would end the season
with 66 thefts, leading the Major Leagues.
Unfortunately for the A’s, the
Tigers won the game 13-4.
