      FYI

      He spells his name RickEy Henderson, as opposed to Ricky Henderson on the bat

        Eric,

        Actually, he has spelled his name both ways (for quite a long time). In recent years, he has predominately (if not solely) been signing his name without the "e" in fact. His spelling of "Ricky" on the bat barrel was standard for his Coopers, and many other bats he ordered (Rawlings, for example). Carolina Clubs and Louisvilles typically had "Rickey" with the "e" though. The auction seller states that his name is Ricky Hernandez which is simply carelessness/confusion. I understand these bats to be trophies, as well, but when it comes to Rickey, you never know ... he may have used it. See the following photos for spelling variations across manufacturers.

            Eric,

            He's a "quirky" guy. I can't imagine waking up one day and deciding to spell my name Reed. And I'm sure it hasn't dawned on you to switch to Erik. But Ricky is as Rickey does ... or something like that.
