This guy rejuvinated the entire AL! Him and Lynn ushered in a parade of AL HOF's that lasted for decades! Rice put up some Gehrig-like numbers for several years. Screw sabermatics! If not, hal of pfresent HOF's would be out.
Rice was great baseball player. I'm was not aware it took 15 years for him to get in HOF, he dam sure deserves to b there so does Fred Lynn. Incredible WS between the Sox and Reds in 76. Best one I have ever saw . Hope he is doing well and keeps coaching baseball at any level. He was a hellva baller.
Jim Rice was a great baseball player. You see the numbers that he put up you always have naysayers they like to put in all that other stuff they had nothing to do with Baseball his number. His teammates were very great around him. Made him good made them good that’s why they did a lot of winning. I was thinking about when I was walking today on my daily walk thatif the playoff system was set up like it is today, they would always go to the playoffs and he was very generous man with his time matter, but people matter also
