Print Edition
Dave Henderson, the former major league outfielder who hit one of the most famous home runs in postseason history, died on Sunday after suffering a heart attack. He was 57.
Henderson died early on Sunday morning at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to a statement from the Mariners, one of five teams Henderson played for in his career. He had a kidney transplant in late October. Henderson was best known for his home run in the 1986 AL Championship Series for Boston. With the Red Sox one strike from elimination in Game 5, Henderson hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth against the California Angels to send the series back to Boston. The Red Sox won Games 6 and 7 to advance to the World Series. But beyond his memorable playoff moment, Henderson was a reliable contributor to four teams that reached the World Series and played 14 MLB seasons. His greatest success came from 1988-91 with Oakland. During that four-year stretch, the A’s went to the World Series thrice. He also played for the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals.
