the greatest base stealer of all time, but one of the most memorable personalities of his generation. the enthusiasm and energy he brought to cooperstown each year will truly be missed. our thoughts are with his wife, pamela, and their family. again, henderson was inducted into the baseball hall of fame in 2009. tributes have been pouring in for henderson, everyone from former teammates, major and minor league teams, companies to elected officials all weighing in on henderson's passing. henderson did spend a quarter of a century playing in the major leagues. in a career that spanned from the 1970s all the way into the 2000. ktvu bailey o'carroll takes a look back at henderson's upbringing in the east bay and his hall of fame career. no contest. >> steals third base, jerks the bag from its moorings. >> nobody stole more bases. nobody hit more leadoff home runs. nobody celebrated with more flair. and nobody was beloved in the bay area quite like rickey henderson.

>> and all y'all beautiful fans for supporting me. >> he played 24 seasons in the major leagues for nine teams, many of those with the a's. rickey henderson was one of the greatest players to ever grace the baseball field. he had that rare combination of speed, power and swagger. >> grab the shirt. yeah. style. style. >> rickey henderson was born in 1958 on christmas day in chicago, illinois, in the back of an oldsmobile. on the way to the hospital when he was seven, he moved to oakland and as a kid learned to play baseball, batting right handed but throwing with his left. and when he couldn't afford tickets to a's games, he started sneaking into the coliseum. >> you know, we were going out there, maybe just to get a ball. you know, we didn't get a ball or something that they can give us. it was a joyful time for us. >> he graduated from oakland tech high school in 1976, where he played baseball and football, and he was good at both. in fact, he was an all-american running back and dreamed of playing pro football for the oakland raiders. but his mom

told him he'd have a longer career in baseball. so he turned down more dozen football scholarships to go pro, signing with the oakland a's right out of high school. >> follow your dream. believe in your dream because dreams do come true. >> henderson was an opposing pitchers nightmare. he could take one deep right field. >> is it going to fall? >> is it going to fall? there it is. there it is. number 3000 for rickey henderson. >> but you couldn't walk him because he'd happily steal second and third. in 1982, he didn't just break the single season record for stolen bases. he shattered it with 130. >> today, i am the greatest of all time. thank you. >> he also holds the mlb records for career stolen bases, runs, unintentional walks and leadoff home runs. he was the american league's mvp in 1990, a member of the 3000 hit club, a two time world series champion with the a's and blue jays, and ten time

all star. in 2009, he was inducted into the baseball hall of fame in his first year of eligibility. his plaque there reads rickey henderson used the ultimate combination of power and speed to break numerous records. he played in 3081 games and was known as the man of steel. and as rickey said, if my uniform doesn't get dirty, i haven't done anything in the baseball game. >> when you think of me, i would like you to remember that kid from the inner city that played the game with all his heart and never took the game for granted. >> the game, as illustrious as his career, was on the field. the stories about henderson off of it are equally as legendary, and while not all of them ring true, some shockingly are. one day, henderson got a call from the a's finance department asking why he hadn't cashed his $1 million signing bonus. his answer was simple it was framed on his wall, and he made a

childhood promise to himself that if he became a millionaire, he would frame the check. henderson was a man of his word. [music] even after his career with the a's came to an end, henderson continued to be involved with the franchise, stopping by on game days to meet with players and say hey to fans. before the a's played their final home game in oakland back in late september, it was rickey henderson and dave stewart tossing out the ceremonial first pitches. thank you rickey. just a few days earlier, henderson's daughter threw out the first pitch before a game against the yankees, and rickey was there behind home plate. and that ballpark that felt like home, surrounded by blood and baseball family to catch the pitch. henderson was 65 years old. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> rickey henderson was a fixture in bay area sports for decades. ktvu joe fonzi spent years covering him. joe says henderson found a unique level of satisfaction, electrifying

his teammates and fans. >> it was a guy that just wanted to play baseball and had such joy in playing baseball, and i think that's that's his legacy. obviously, he's an mvp, he's a world series winner, all those things. but just the joy that he brought to the game and you know, they say that, you know baseball is a kids game. and people who played professionally are fortunate that they never have to grow up. they get to be kids professionally. and rickey would be kind of the epitome of that kind of guy. >> the a's were notorious for having players with eccentric personalities, and joe says rickey henderson was certainly one of those guys. henderson died on friday at the age of 65. we'll have more on the life and legacy of rickey henderson on our website, ktvu.com and on fox. local. new. at ten, a woman is caught on camera stealing a package from a home in the east bay. surveillance video here shows a woman in a red nike hoodie walking up to a home in the oakland hills today, before swiping a package off the ground. the thief left the scene

[music] [applause]

unite here local two says the new four year contract, approved late last night, applies to around 600 workers, including 250 who had been on strike at the grand hyatt. this is the same deal marriott workers agreed to on thursday. the agreement keeps the current union health insurance plan, increases wages and creates new protections against understaffing. amazon workers are striking at delivery hubs across the nation, as many americans are scrambling to finish their christmas shopping. fox's max gordon spoke with the teamsters and heard what amazon has to say about the timely demonstration. >> amazon delivery drivers are looking for better working conditions as well as higher pay, and this is the way that they're making their voices heard. by slowing down operations at amazon, delivery facilities like this one in the city of industry, california. essentially, they're slowing down operations by stopping vans at exits, talking to drivers about the strike and about the teamsters union. on friday,

teamsters union president sean o'brien walked the picket line with workers, and he said that if packages arrive late for the holidays, it's not the teamsters fault, it's amazon's. >> they chose to cause this disruption. and, you know, the narrative is great how you know they care about the consumers. this has nothing to do with the consumers. this has nothing to do with time. and we have leverage. this is our leverage right now to show how valuable these workers are, both inside and outside. and amazon chose this timing, not us. >> thousands of drivers for firms that contract with amazon walked off the job across the country thursday morning. the strike is growing with an additional warehouse on staten island joining on saturday, organized by the teamsters union. the workers say they're demanding a fair union contract that guarantees wages, health care and safety. amazon says that their operations are largely unaffected amid the last minute rush to deliver holiday packages. they also say that the teamsters have been bullying workers into joining, and that since the workers striking aren't amazon employees just contractors, they have no reason

to bargain with them. >> first of all, there is no strike because there are no amazon employees or drivers who are involved in this activity. what we have is a protest that has been created and manufactured by the teamsters to make a point. >> the teamsters union says that the strike will only end once amazon comes to the table to bargain with them, though they're unclear about what exact concessions that they're looking for in the city of industry, california. max gordon, fox business. >> hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in havana, cuba, to protest in front of the u.s. embassy. friday's afternoon's demonstrations is a call against american sanctions. the people are calling on washington to remove cuba from its list of nations that sponsor terrorism. president miguel diaz-canel called on cubans to protest and led the march alongside former president raul castro. a few hours later, as parliament closed its session, diaz-canel said the cuban economy was undergoing a severe crisis and he expects greater hostility

from the u.s. under president elect donald trump's administration. new at ten, president elect trump's daughter in law will not be florida's next u.s. senator. lara trump announced on social media today she is taking herself out of consideration to replace marco rubio, who has been tapped to be the next secretary of state. lara trump stepped down as the rnc co-chair several weeks ago, leading many to speculate she might run for office. instead, she promised a big announcement to share in january. crisis averted. in washington, at least for now. the latest stopgap interim spending measure passed in the house late friday and in the middle of the night for the senate. this move averted a government shutdown right before the holidays. fox's madeline rivera has more from washington. >> after remaining largely silent about the spending fight, something the white house says was intentional, president biden released a statement about the bill. he says, in part, this agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted.

but it rejects the accelerated pathway to a tax cut for billionaires that republicans sought, and it ensures the government can continue to operate at full capacity. the final proposal, the third attempt by house speaker mike johnson to keep the government open, is slimmer than a bipartisan agreement that house speaker mike johnson had struck with democrats. he keeps funding at current levels until mid-march. it also includes more than $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion in economic aid for farmers. notably missing is a debt limit increase, something president elect trump had demanded. the bill received bipartisan support in both chambers of congress overnight, with republicans and democrats either celebrating wins or, at the very least, accepting the realities of a narrow house margin. >> we continue to fund governments at levels that were set by democrats in the last congress, and then slightly modified by president biden. >> we did what was basic to get us across this finish line, fund the government until president trump comes in with the republican trifecta, and then we

will go through line by line and see how we can reduce spending and get our fiscal house in order. >> but the spending fight exposed the divisions among the house republican conference, foreshadowing the challenges that might surface next year as republicans try to implement trump's agenda. house republicans have another small majority next year, meaning they'll likely have to rely on democratic votes to get any legislation through the finish line at the white house. martha rivera, fox news. >> the senate judiciary committee today released an ethics report on supreme court justices, revealing more undeclared luxury travel provided to clarence thomas by a wealthy donor, harlan crow. it included a private jet trip to crowe's upstate new york retreat for five days, and an overnight stay on his yacht. the report also highlighted scrutiny on other justices, including justice sonia sotomayor, who reportedly had her staff assist her with the sales of her books. this week, a special edition of the show. the issue is, and tomorrow we take a break from

they need for a christmas meal thanks to some oakland firefighters. the oakland black firefighters association gave out food at allen temple baptist church today as part of their annual holiday basket giveaway. for more than 30 years, this organization has been giving

away food on the saturday before christmas. the fire chief says this is all in an effort to make sure that the community is fed for the holidays. >> we give out chickens, turkeys, rice, canned goods, all the things that are needed to have a good holiday christmas meal. >> today's helping hands were active firefighters and community members, along with volunteers from the event partner, the oakland housing authority. volunteers today helped hundreds of families facing food insecurity in santa clara county. more than 300 families received meals, groceries and toys for children at the hunger at home event. it was held at lincoln glen church in san jose. organizers say roughly one in every four people in silicon valley is currently experiencing food insecurity. >> today is our 51st distribution of the year. getting ready for 2025. last year we did at the lincoln glen church about 350 families. this year we expect to do about 450. we see the need continue to grow. and again, as we continue

to say it's not a scarcity problem, it's a logistics problem. so we continue to get the product, the food that otherwise would go in the landfill to those that are in need. >> organizers say they were able to secure more food to give away this year because of california's recent law requiring restaurants and businesses to donate extra food. with just four days until christmas, organizations all over the bay area are giving back, trying to make sure that families in need have the gifts to make this holiday season special. one teen in san jose has made this his goal at just seven years old. and as ktvu amanda quintana shows us, he's still carrying out this tradition 12 years later. here we go. >> merry christmas! >> 19 year old joey childs is back home from his freshman year at oklahoma state, back to doing something he started when he was just a kid. >> merry christmas to you guys. i remember starting really, really small, and i remember collecting toys within my neighborhood. and i vividly remember the first year when i collected 1000 toys and it and

just i was so excited. and now i would never expect to have 30,000 toys here in this warehouse. but i don't see an end in sight. >> now, joey's toy drive has been going for 12 years, still with his original goal to make sure every kid has a new toy for christmas. >> it's more of us filling their car with toys and putting a smile on their face. it's giving them hope and it's making them feel loved and listened to. >> and the word has spread. this year, joey even had to turn down a big corporate donation because it was just too many toys for this small team to handle. the group global empowerment mission helped secure about 15,000 toys and the other half directly from the community. >> merry christmas. merry christmas. thank you elijah. >> merry christmas. >> more than 50 bay area businesses and schools helped him get to this point by filling up boxes like this one. >> keep the cars moving forward. keep them moving forward. >> his team of volunteers now all teenagers, have been by his side for years. his best friend andre is in charge of logistics,

taking off time from his actual job to manage the operations here. >> everything from where the toys go in the warehouse to when the shipments go out. we keep track of numbers, go pick ups and all the whole i'm running all around learning skills he can take into his career, but mainly just doing what he loves. it's a wonderful feeling to help the kids every time they line up and all the kids, they finally receive their present. their their faces just light up and they're so happy. it's one of the best feelings in the world. >> for joey's parents. proud is an understatement. >> he has a warm heart and beautiful soul, and he is. this is not about him. he's. this is not about him at all. this is about truly helping the community and others in need. and it's so rewarding for all of us in san jose. >> amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news, chris. >> the 32nd annual kung pao kosher comedy night is coming to san francisco next week. we spoke with the local comic

leading the laughs. her name is lisa. oleg. good duldig excuse me, about the origins of the unique holiday show. >> it came about in 1993 when i went to perform in massachusetts at a women's comedy night, at what i thought was going to be a comedy club called the peking garden club. i got there and it was a chinese restaurant, and a conversation with a friend after that led to the idea of doing jewish comedy on christmas in a chinese restaurant. >> tickets are still available online. there are two shows a night on christmas eve, christmas day and the 26th. this is happening at the imperial palace in chinatown. >> well, the weekend starting off with lots of cloud cover and some scattered rain across parts of the bay area. today's system not a major storm, but it's going to open up the door for more significant rain over the next few days. so for your sunday, mostly cloudy skies, we're going to bump up the rain chances tomorrow evening. a bit of a breeze with winds out of the southeast, maybe 10 to 15

miles an hour and temperatures. it's a warmer pattern. temperatures in the 50s and the 60s. so here's kind of the bigger model here, showing you the big view in the pacific. and we're showing you multiple systems. first one is tomorrow night, and then another one will be monday night and into tuesday. and this of course, christmas eve. this is the one that definitely we'll keep an eye on. this will produce some heavy rain, some strong winds and maybe some thunderstorms in the day. the pattern could remain active later in the week after christmas, so we'll watch out for more potential rainfall. as you can see, this particular update wants to bring in some more rainfall by friday, so it's not going to be a long stretch of dry days, but we will have those breaks. so multiple storms on the way sunday evening rainfall develops tuesday rain and wind, the possibility of some thunderstorms. and then after christmas, we're tracking multiple rain chances as well. over the next seven days, those rainfall totals could really be adding up, possibly maybe around an inch in the south bay up in san francisco could be approaching two inches and the north bay hills maybe 5 to 6in.

so this is over the next seven days. this rainfall forecast with multiple systems developing offshore. right now, though, you can see the system that moved moved into northern california today, a lot of cloud cover. nothing really too organized here, but still some green showing up on the radar. a lot of this in the form of some mist or some drizzle. livermore right now reporting some light rain in the sierra. they're reporting some light rain in south lake tahoe. so it's a warmer system. so as a result you have higher snow levels, but no winter storm warnings posted right now as we check out the bay area radar view. once again, lots of clouds, some mist or some drizzle and temperatures in the 50s, so it's still fairly mild across the bay area for tonight. overnight temperatures will be in the upper 40s to the 50s. lots of clouds. there's the chance of some mist or some drizzle or light shower, especially early tomorrow morning around 5 or 6:00. but here's the overall weather pattern. here's our next system coming up offshore. and then as we kind of widen the view, there's more development here. and that will be a stronger

storm, especially by tuesday that will be racing toward our coastline. that will have more dynamics, more support to produce those heavy downpours first thing tuesday morning. so here's the forecast model. here we are tomorrow morning. lots of clouds once again. maybe some mist or some drizzle. and then this is the afternoon hours. picking up the afternoon hours here 3:00 and then into sunday evening. so this will be a burst of some steady rainfall sunday evening across the bay area. that band, that band tries to move to the south. and then as you can see into monday, there's the chance of some scattered rain showers in the monday forecast. but the main core of the next system wants to come on board late monday night and into tuesday, so there'll be a heavy rain producer that will impact travel here in northern california, in the bay area. and then on wednesday for christmas day, it looks like most of the day should be dry. highs for tomorrow will be in the upper 50s to the 60s. and here's a look ahead. your five day forecast. there's that shower chance for monday. this is the storm we really have to watch on tuesday. and then on wednesday. partly to mostly cloudy skies

for christmas day. maybe a rain chance by wednesday evening and another chance of rain by thursday. so the umbrellas will be busy this week. christina. >> sounds good mark. thank you. next in sports we hear from a's hall of famer dave stewart as he reflects on his childhood friend and former teammate rickey henderson. henderson died on

would believe it. i mean, we all have are going to have our day. but at 65 years old, it was definitely too soon for rickey. >> he would have been 66 on christmas day in the nba. the golden state warriors just went through a nine game gantlet in the western conference before their game against the minnesota timberwolves. plus, they're trying to snap a three game losing streak. jonathan kuminga may have caused a 20 minute delay since he was hanging on the rim, and once that rim and net was fixed, steph curry was finally thrilled to the action. we go. warriors came out on fire. kuminga knocks down the corner. three to extend their lead by 21. but the t wolves came all the way back in the fourth. rudy gobert goes through the contact to get the and one. and he had 18 points and 14 rebounds later in the fourth quarter game tied at 92. trace jackson davis blows by and takes it to the rim for the flush in the final two minutes. curry slammed the door shut on the t wolves chances when he had a curry flurry. steph scored 11

straight points and a couple of shots were dagger threes. the warriors snapped their losing streak, winning 113 103. steph had a special shout out after this win. 31 points, ten assists. >> the warriors shout out condolences to the entire henderson family. growing up you know as an adult in the in the bay area, especially what he did in oakland, it resonates with me. you know in terms of representing the bay and doing it at a legendary iconic level. nobody like him. and so condolences to the whole family. i know the whole bay area mourns with him tonight. this game? >> yes they do. cal women's basketball team is on a five game winning streak, and they are hosting the raising the bar invitational. iona crumley had her ncaa leading 25th career game with five three pointers. she led with 19 points and michelle o'neill was flawless with six for six from the field to help number 24 ranked cal come away with a 69 to 53 dub over fordham. they'll face

temple in the championship game tomorrow at 5 p.m. cal men's basketball team took a 10 to 2 lead early in the first. things just kind of went downhill from there. the bears would end up missing 16 straight shots in the first half. the aztecs were making it rain in the sap center. they made eight of 15 from beyond the arc in the second half. san diego state goes on to win 71 to 50. that wraps things up rob: it's the semifinals. i'm rob lowe, and this is "the floor." this season, in competition tougher than ever before... so much strategy in the air. ...83 people have been brutally eliminated. - pass. - all: oh! - grandma v. - bye, virginia! now only 17 remain with a shot at $250,000. that amount of money is way more than i make in multiple years of work.
