OUTTA LEFTFIELD

Red Sox outfielder and future Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson is 42 years old. Rays manager Hal McRae was 42 when he retired after the 1987 season.

"There's no comparison between me at 42 and Rickey at 42," McRae said. "It's just not a good comparison."

Henderson has shown he still has some pop in his bat. On April22, Henderson, the all-time leader in leadoff home runs, hit his 80th off of the Rays' Delvin James.
