On This Day: Birthday Series - May 01 - (B) Ricky Henderson & The Empire State Building - White glossy mug

May 1st: Speed on the Base Paths and in the Skyline

May 1st captures a momentous day in both the world of sports and architecture. Born on this day in 1958, Rickey Henderson, an American former professional baseball left fielder, is celebrated as one of the greatest leadoff hitters and baserunners in baseball history. Known for his incredible speed and stealing bases, Henderson holds the Major League records for career stolen bases, runs scored, unintentional walks, and leadoff home runs, leaving a legacy that has truly reshaped the game.

On the same day in 1931, the Empire State Building was officially opened. Standing as a beacon of architectural triumph in New York City, it was the tallest building in the world at the time of its completion. The Empire State Building not only defined the NYC skyline but also became an iconic symbol of human ingenuity and the American spirit during the Great Depression, inspiring awe and admiration from all corners of the globe.

This mug celebrates Rickey Henderson's electrifying sportsmanship and the awe-inspiring presence of the Empire State Building, making it a perfect tribute to those who value historical achievements and the spirit of perseverance.
