Rickey Henderson never caught a game in his 25 seasons in the major leagues, including the 44 games he played for the Blue Jays in 1993. 
The question is, during his time in Toronto did Rickey listen to CHOG, as CFTR had flipped to all news a few weeks before he was traded by Oakland to Toronto.  Or was Rickey a devotee of Sports Radio The Fan on 1430?

If he did listen to 680, was he hoping CFTR would have transmitter issues and go off the air so he might have a clear shot at KNBR, "the Sports Leader".

That actually did happen. Back in 1977, CFTR was down for transmitter maintenance. I heard KNBR mixed with WPTF.

Yep, in Toronto, too. Had a few CFTR outages way back when I was a teen...
