This week's Ironclad Spotlight Item is an 8x10 photograph signed and inscribed "1406 SB" by Hall of Famer and stolen base king Rickey Henderson. Nicknamed "The Man of Steal", Henderson is widely regarded as the best leadoff hitter and baserunner to ever play the game.

During a career that spanned over 24 seasons, Henderson was able to set several major league records, most notable his career stolen base title. Henderson's record 1,406 stolen bases are 468 more than Hall of Famer Lou Brock, who is second on the all-time list with 938. Other records Henderson holds are include runs scored, unintentional walks, and lead off home runs.

Currently Cinnicinati Red's Prospect Billy Hamilton has over 100 steals half-way through the minor league season. Could he be a second coming of Rickey Henderson?

Here is Hamilton hitting an inside the park home-run. He made it around the bases in under 14 seconds!
