Major League Baseball (MLB) legend Ricky "Man of Steal" Henderson has died at the age of 65. 

According to ESPN, Henderson's family announced his passing in a statement that it released on Saturday.

Details about Henderson's passing have been reported by TMZ.

Per the outlet:

Baseball's "Man of Steal," Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson is dead after a bout with pneumonia ... TMZ has learned. Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Henderson passed away Friday in the Oakland area, and had been getting treatment at a hospital for a brief period.

The statement came from Henderson's wife, Pamela, and his three daughters.

It, in part, read:

A legend on and off the field, Rickey was a devoted son, dad, friend, grandfather, brother, uncle, and a truly humble soul. Rickey lived his life with integrity, and his love for baseball was paramount. Now, Rickey is at peace with the Lord, cherishing the extraordinary moments and achievements he leaves behind.

The family itself did not reveal the details of Henderson's passing.

It did, however, thank the doctors and nurses at the USCF hospital, which would seem to, in part, confirm TMZ's reporting.

No further details have been provided about his passing by the family.

Remembering Ricky Henderson:

Henderson, of course, is known as the "Man of Steal" because he is Major League Baseball's all-time stolen bases leader.

Breitbart News reports:

Henderson set the MLB stolen bases record at 1,406. It’s a record that will likely live on well into the future, considering that no other player has amassed even 1,000 stolen bases. Stolen bases weren’t Henderson’s only specialty. He’s also a member of the 3,000-hit club (3,055), scored 2,295 runs, had 297 home runs, and a lifetime batting average of .279.

Accordingly, Henderson is considered one of the all-time greats of Major League baseball.

Over the years, Breitbart notes that he played for a number of MLB teams. Per the outlet:

While Henderson was one of the more well-traveled MLB Hall of Famers, having played for nine teams throughout his 25-year career, the speedster first entered the majors in 1979 as a member of the Oakland A’s, and much of his fame grew from there.

In addition to the A's, Henderson also played for the Yankees, Padres, Mets, Mariners, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Angels, and Dodgers. A 10-time All-Star, Henderson would go on to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009. Social media tributes are pouring in, following the news of his passing.
