Rickey is back with the A's

The A's have hired recent Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson in a goodwill capacity for the 2009 season, and the club is looking for an extension to the club's Spring Training site contract, which expires in 2012.

i hope maybe this will lead to a more prominent role with the A's as the year goes by, he would be great to mentor some of the younger players
