Sorry---maybe it's my foggy memory, but I seem to recall that Jim Ed Rice hit a lot of solo dingers when the Sox were up 8-2, but was almost a lock for a 6-4-3 DP with one out and runners on first and second, and the Sox down a run, in the late innings.
Big Papi, he wasn't
It doesn't help that he was a #^&#^&#^&#^& to the press and the fans--what goes around, comes around
