Jim Rice: The Hall of Fame Journey | Red Sox Bios 

Had the same shirt

Actually at one time Rice was the highest paid player in the game,so idk about him goin elsewhere cuz Boston did pay him!!

@@raypratt3611 He deserved every penny and he remains tied to the organization to this day. An exceptional hero in baseball added to the greats !

Jim Rice owned the green 👻 👽 monster

1978 Jim Rice was unpitchable

And he played his way and didn't worry about the legends of Yaz or Ted Williams...

His best years were 77-79. 3 straight 200 hit seasons, 124 home runs, 383 RBI's.

So true I grew up in the NYC area and he always got your attention when he came to the plate. I also believe if he played in 1975 World Series Boston would’ve beat Cincinnati...

@@ccth22 I think so too.

That isn't just talk, he was dominant

I echo your sentiments from across the Border. My father is a lifetime Redsox fan from the 1940s until the present day at 85 years old . He took me to Fenway when I was 10 years old in 1978 to see that incredible team of Boston Greats and my superhero Jim Rice!. I have only been to Fenway 4 times in my life , finally getting my kids there Sept. of 2019 . There is no greater team and no better bed of heroes to me than the 'never quit Redsox' and Jim Rice is the embodiment of all my Love for Boston !

The Sabermetrics people that put him down are colossal idiots. Jim Rice was awesome!!!!!

From 1975 to 1986 he had more outfield assist more home runs and more RBIs then anybody in the American league hit a lot of line drives off the green monster that would have been home runs in any other park you were so strong and classic was so much presents on the field still my all-time favorite I have a fabulous day ✌🏼👍🏼✋

He was definitely a beautiful player so strong what a great presence on the field Jim Rice was awesome have a great day

Guy had good speed for a big man. Led the AL in homers AND triples in 1978!

My Dad used to take me back there where they parked before and after the game. Some of the players would come up to the fence sign an few autographs and be on their way. I have great memories of so many of the players because of it. Rice, Evans, Burleson, Remy, Scott, Fisk, Lynn, Stanley, Lee, Tiant. Those were great days. Now you can't even see back there. Baseball has lost that connection. Heck you can't even go in early to watch batting practice anymore and that was when you got to hit up the visiting team.

Great coment injuries did cut his career short and the broken wrist in 1980 snd the strike season in 1981 had a big effect on his final numbers most recent news must of his numbers he put up was in a 12 year period given him an average of 29 home runs and 104 RBIs a season from 1975 to 1986 the most in the American league in that stretch dominance got him in the Hall of Fame if he got to stay healthy he definitely would have hit 470 home runs in his career he hit a lot of bullets off the green monster that would have been out of any other park many home runs turn to singles the monster Robbed him a hundred home runs during his career have a fabulous day thank you Jim Rice is still my favorite player 👍🏼✌🏼😎

Agreed man,I thought we had another 5 solid seasons with Rice,bouncin around 20-25 homers,but that 1986 season was pretty much the last great season from him or even the last decent season,he was just DONE after that yr,I still kinda find it odd how quickly he went down after 86?!?!honestly RICE should of had much better #'s cuz from 75-86 espesially that 3 yrs run to close the 70's out he just had nothin left after an MVP caliber season in 86,so again just REALLY strange to go from a top 3 MVP candidate to basically CAREER OVER still blows my mind,cuz he was in his mid 30's I would say,so I expected his #'s to drop off a bit but I kind of thought thats what 1986 was all about,maybe his power was diminishing so he started spraying the ball a little more so I figured at least a few more yrs of his 1986 type of seasons were on the way,but then injuries and he just never found the rhythm again,but man he was NO FLUKE hitter he was tremendous in his prime!!IMO the best hitter in the game from 77-86 and he only had 1 more power season in the 80's which was in 1983 with 39 HR's and 126 RBI but he was still pretty damn good 84-86 he still managed 74 HR's and over 100 RBI each season so yea all in all JIM RICE deserves his HOF Induction BUT....it is pretty close,but for over a DECADE he was one of the games BEST and for a few of those yrs one could argue he was THE best that the game of BASEBALL had to offer!!very special memories from my childhood watching JIM RICE and my RED SOX !!

Personally, I am not happy about resigning the manager Cora. He seemed like the one who instigated it in two teams. I mean, you can coach, but I would just move on to someone else. But I put principles over money - which rich people don't - or they wouldn't be rich.

@Gregory Holden I know terribly sad. What I meant by they should've attended ea others by now is that Dewey should've BEEN HAD a HOF induction speech for Jim #14 to attend by now. Just another way for me to say Dewey should be in the hall. Even if he would've been at Jim R's induction there's been no vice versa and it's looong over due.

Most feared hitter in baseball for 10 years enough said being so dominating in that time qualified him from 1975 to 1986 more home runs rbi's and outfield assist then anyone in the American league definitely deserves to be in

You don't know enough about Jim Rice career and his impact on the game during his time sorry Mister retro fan

Don't try to be an expert on what you don't know you might hurt yourself you're into guesswork and assumptionsjust enjoy your Easter and stick to what you know if you know anything have yourself a good day understand your limitations you'll be fine fine👍👍✌️

If you useing Donald Trump as an example you definitely can't be that bright

The level of your stupidity is only matched by your inability to spellcheck. Go heckle your hater-aide in some Yankee blog where you can be never heard from again. RedSox Nation doesn't need or want you.
