Rickey Henderson arrived in camp yesterday for a 10-day stint as a baserunning instructor. Looking fit as always at 48, baseball’s all-time stolen base king was asked if he’s officially retired yet. “I don’t know what retirement is,” he said. “They keep saying, ‘You’re retired, Rickey.’ They won’t let me play. This year probably I’ll announce that maybe I’m retired . . . Unless somebody says, ‘Hey, let me see, can you go out there and play?’ ”
Henderson is probably the only person who will still hold out the hope of playing again while he’s making his induction speech for the Hall of Fame.

RIEBER WELCOME BACK BROTHER!!!
YOU ARE THE RICKEY HENDERSON OF THIS BLOG...
HALL OF FAME ALL THE WAY.
I know why Anthony Rieber came back to us. Was it his love for the Met fans and his compelling need to embrace our culture once again?
No. THE MAN just got sick of writing about AROD!!!!!!!Enough Already!!!AROD STINKS! GO METS!!!!!!!!
Actually, anonymous, we writers go where we're told to go by our bosses. Sometimes I cover the Yankees, sometimes I cover the Mets, sometimes I cover the Rangers. Today I wrote a lovely A-Rod piece. Look for it on Newsday.com. And thanks for caring, big guy (or gal).
