Henrich received the Pride of The Yankees Award in 1987, presented annually by the club to memorable figures in the organizations' history.
At his death Henrich was the last surviving member of the 1938 and 1941 World Champion New York Yankees. There were no living former baseball players who played on the winning team in an earlier World Series. He was also Lou Gehrig's final surviving teammate.
Henrich died at the age of 96 on December 1, 2009, after being weakened by a series of strokes he had suffered in recent years. He is buried in Dayton National Cemetery.
