Oakland OF Rickey Henderson becomes the second player to leads off both games of the A’s doubleheader with home runs

On July 5, 1993 At Cleveland, Oakland A’s future hall of famer Rickey Henderson leads off both games of the A’s doubleheader against the Indians with home runs. It is the first time this has happened since 1913, when during a doubleheader played in Washington, Red Sox outfielder and future Hall of Famer Harry Hooper was the first to accomplish the feat.. The Athletics win the 1st game, 6 – 5, but the Indians come back to take the nightcap, 6 – 2.
