Has Ricky Hendeson finally quit playing? I know last lear he was playing in minors independant league?

Question

Anybody know his status?

Answer 1

He is still trying to play but no one has picked him up yet in the minors. However, he did work with the Mets and Jose Reyes in Spring Training, but right now he is semi coaching the New Orleans Zephyrs. They are the Mets AAA farm club. I went to a game the other night and he was not there but I do know that he has been helping the team.

Answer 2

He's not playing, but he's said that he still wants to. He works a special instructor for the New York Mets in spring training. He's worked A LOT with Jose Reyes on base stealing, which you can see by the fact that Reyes has 42 Stolen Bases already and its not even the all star break. Ricky is often seen at Shea Stadium these days watching games.

Answer 3

I wish people would realize when they are WAY past their prime and just ride off into the night like everyone else. He is 49 now, and I just don't see what more he can do at this point. Do you really want to play A ball for a few years until you have a hip replacement?

Answer 4

Rickey is almost 49 years old and I don't see him coming back. Rickey says he would like to give it a try to see if he has anything left but someone would have to want him and I don't think that will happen. We will all have to remember his glory days and wish him good luck in the future and induction into the HOF when his time comes. I can hardly wait for his induction speech to see if anyone will understand what he says.

Answer 5

Sounds as though he isn't playing but still wants to, based on the link below.

Answer 6

He needs to retire

Answer 7

I think so, i'm not real sure though.
