'Toy Story 4' to include A's legend Rickey Henderson bobblehead
Hall of Fame left fielder Rickey Henderson will join Buzz Lightyear and Woody in the upcoming "Toy Story 4." At least, his likeness will.
As first noticed by Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, a Henderson bobblehead appears in a promotional image released earlier this week. The bobblehead looks to be modeled after the pose Henderson struck upon breaking MLB's all-time stolen base record in 1991.

The Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub points out that Pixar, the studio behind the "Toy Story" franchise, has a history of including nods to the East Bay in its movies. "Toy Story 4" producer Jonas Rivera and actor Tom Hanks, who voices Woody, are also big Oakland Athletics fans.
