Henderson was probably the best leadoff hitter ever. You have to give him credit. He sure loved to hot dog it against a catcher who was a little slow off the mark.
Tony Fernandez was awesome when he was with the Jays. Definitely underrated. Amazing defense, and great batting average. He had some nasty injuries though, like breaking his elbow at exhibition stadium, and taking a fastball in the cheek.
I'd take a 1980s Fernandez over almost anyone at shortstop, and that includes Cal Ripken.
