with 25 seasons. A true marvel. Package him and Nolan Ryan (27 seasons). Henderson also had stolen bases in every one of his 25 seasons as well (Cap Anson may have had up to 27 seasons with stolen bases - the record is blank for several seasons).

You think of him more as a base stealer, yet he was an awesome hitter as well!
