The Illuminated Donkey

Lest We Forget. During the hectic holiday season, as we rush from mall to holiday party to post office to relative's house, it can unfortunately be too easy to overlook the simple and elegant fact that long ago today was born a great man, who has brought joy to the lives of countless millions with his words and deeds.

So happy birthday, Rickey Henderson, born 46 years ago today in Chicago.

(Well, whaddya expect from a baseball fan named Goldstein?)
