Description

A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Rickey Henderson sliding into second base as he is called out. The game was played in the daytime at the Oakland Coliseum on June 13, 1984. Henderson is on the far right of the frame in profile facing left. He is shown full-body. He is wearing the gold home jersey of the Oakland Athletics with his name and the number "35" on the back of the jersey. His left foot is on the base. His right leg is bending at the knee underneath him. His arms are over his head. He is not wearing a cap or batting helmet. Julio Franco is standing to the left of the frame with his back to the camera. Franco is shown full-body with his head turned to his right in profile. He is straddling the base with a wide stance. He is wearing the road uniform of the Cleveland Indians, showing his last name and number "14". Umpire Larry McCoy appears to the far left of the frame, mostly obscured by Franco. He is holding his right fist clenched in an "out" gesture. On the bottom of the photograph, the caption reads, "(FX2) OAKLAND, CALIF., June 14--CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S OUT--Oakland A's Rickey Henderson (35) throws his arms up in disbelief as umpire Larry McCoy calls him out on an attempted steal at their [sic] base.
