Dan chose Rickey Henderson for this week's Got It Done award.
Dan was impressed because Rickey showed a lot of humility during the speech. Henderson was a bad man at the plate, but he recognized how special it is to be enshrined among the all-time greats.
Here is a portion of Henderson's speech:
I would like to thank everyone here and all over the country for sharing this special moment with me and my family. To all the kids out there: Follow your dream. Believe in your dream. Because dreams do come true.
When you think of me, I would like you to remember that kid from the inner city that played the game with all of his heart and never took the game for granted. Thanks to everyone here for making my dream come true today.
In closing, I would like to say my favorite hero was Mohammad Ali. He said at one time, "I am the greatest." That is something I always wanted to be. And now that the Association has voted me into the Baseball Hall of Fame, my journey as a player is complete. I am now in the class of the greatest players of all time. And at this moment, I am very, very humble. Thank you.
