The numbers and stats still speak for themselves. In that 12 year period of his prime he was in the top 5 in the MVP voting 6 out of 12 seasons and won once. We can sit here and cut up any players numbers any number of different ways but in the end, in his time, like it or not....Jim Rice was the best in the game.
What are your thoughts on the Reggie Jackson/Jim Rice comparison Mike?? Curious which guy you would rather have on your team? Just a curious question?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Jackson. Rice was one of the worst clutch hitters I ever saw. |

Thats exactly what I always thought about Rice, a LOT of meaningless stats but he never stepped up when it counted, also at the top of the list every year for hitting into double plays.
But still I'm glad he got in now! certainly NOT a 1st ballot guy though !
As for Larry comparing Rice with Reggie Jackson, You got to be kidding Larry !!! |

The comparison is justified as I was drawing a paralell between the two as different hitters......here, let me draw you a picture.  Rice=Power+ Average+ Hits+ Runs Batted In. Jackson= Power+ Runs Batted In+ just as many double plays and twice as many whiffs!
He is in....and that is all that matters. |

Reggie played on lots more talented teams. What would have been if Rice played on those A's and Yankee teams? Bet things would have been different.

You're kidding me---Lynn, Yaz, Fisk, Evans, Burleson, Hobson, Cooper, Petrocelli. Later on Boggs, Greenwell, Gedman, Lansford, Baylor, Dave Henderson.
Yeah, Rice really played with a bunch of ham and eggers  |
