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?

They don't vote on the last year of a players career Mike....if they did none of them would get in because not many players last season stats are their best seasons?
