Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
Melissa Lockard at The Athletic put out an incredible piece about former A’s outfielder Dave Henderson, and how Hendu’s family is carrying forward his legacy of joy and kindness through the Always Having Fun Foundation (AHFF), which was founded in 2017, two years after Henderson’s untimely death at the age of 57.
AHFF raises money to fund research for a cure for a rare nervous disorder known as Angelman Syndrome. It affects about half a million people worldwide, including Dave’s eldest son, Chase, who has the same winning smile that his dad is remembered for.
