A few weeks into Hendersons stint with the Mariners, he walked up to Olerud at the batting cage and asked him why he wore a batting helmet in the field. Olerud explained that he had an aneurysm at nine years old and he wore the helmet for protection. Legend goes that Henderson said, Yeah, I used to play with a guy that had the same thing. Legend also goes that Olerud said, That was me, Rickey.
Henderson played with Olerud on the Blue Jays and the Mets.
