21. Rickey Henderson died

from pneumonia. As such, I would encourage many of you (Especially within the African American community) who are vulnerable to contracting the disease to get vaccinated against it. Henderson, was a physical specimen as a player and yet was struck by and killed by a short bout of pneumonia.
Many African American former players and athletes have had serious bouts with ill health and disease which have resulted in premature deaths: Jackie Robinson-diabetes and heart disease (53); Dave Henderson-heart attack following a kidney transplant (57); Tony Gwynn-partoid cancer (from tobacco use) (54) to name a few.
So, I would say that in the age of MAGA, maintaining good health and staying out of the clutches of the American medical system is a revolutionary act.
Get regular checkups, keep on top of your health and habits and take all necessary vaccinations (regardless of what RFK, Jr and the anti vaxers say) and take care of yourselves.
