Part 3/11:
Drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the fourth round of the 1976 MLB Draft, Henderson made his debut in 1979. At that time, the Athletics were languishing with a record of 22 wins and 50 losses, and they never could have predicted the transformative effect Henderson would have on their future. He began to find his footing, stealing 33 bases in his rookie year, setting the stage for a historic follow-up season.
