Re: Ricky Henderson Bat???????????
FYI
He spells his name RickEy Henderson, as opposed to Ricky Henderson on the bat

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.
