We are assaulted with stats and metrics now, and while baseball is our most numbers-oriented sport, I do sense the analytics revolution has chilled too many fans and reporters from talking about how certain players made you feel while watching them.

But when I heard Henderson had died, I did not think about a single number. I thought about how he made me feel when I was in the ballpark.
