He deserves better, he's paying the price for his disdain of the media...

He deserves in! What his dislike for the media has to do with his performance on the field I have no idea! I watched his entire career also.....he was the most dominant, consistent hitter of his time! Power and average! Feared by any pitcher who had to stare at him from 60 feet 6 inches away!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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  |

I just looked at his strikeout vs at-bats....looks better than most power hitters.....and he wasn't driving in all those runs on just homers! Someone had to have been on base when he got his hits?  |

He was a very surly individual, especially with the baseball writers.
He could hit the ball a mile. Was he a clutch player I think not.
He hung a round a few seasons to long that hurt his numbers.
