Dave Henderson Dies of Massive Heart Attack

Former major league outfielder Dave Henderson, who hit one of the most famous home runs in postseason history, died Sunday after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 57.

Known as "Hendu," he spent 14 seasons in the major leagues, playing for the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals and San Francisco Giants.

Henderson suffered a massive heart attack and died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to the Mariners. He had undergone a kidney transplant in late October.

In 1986, Henderson hit a ninth-inning, two-out, two-strike homer that lifted the Red Sox to a Game 5 victory over the Angels in the American League Championship Series. The Red Sox won Games 6 and 7 to advance to the World Series.

Henderson also played on the A's last championship team in 1989, when Oakland swept the Giants to win the World Series, and was with the team for two other World Series appearances.

In eight postseason series, Henderson batted .298 with seven homers and a .570 slugging percentage.
