Former major league outfielder Dave Henderson, who hit one of the most famous home runs in postseason history, died Sunday after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 57.
Known as "Hendu," he spent 14 seasons in the major leagues, playing for the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals and San Francisco Giants.
"Hendu" was always the man wearing the biggest smile in the ballpark, and at age 57 the former MLB outfielder was taken from us too soon.
Henderson suffered a massive heart attack and died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to the Mariners. He had undergone a kidney transplant in late October.
Hendu was with the A's during their late '80's mini dynasty and was very popular with the fans. I remember him most for his comment after thridbaseman Vance Law was brought in to pitch against the A's in a blow out game, and managed to strike out Henderson. After the game Hendu said "Well, Vance Law owns me."
