patsfan55 said:well most voters feel that he didnt dominate long enough
and that while he was the best hitter during his prime, he wasnt that great
thats not what i think, im just repeating what ive heard from voters that didnt vote him in
oldrover said:To me, if you have to think about it after reviewing the guy's stats, he shouldn't go to the Hall. Rice had a few great years, but not enough good ones.
PatsWorldChamps said:when i think of rice, i think of him more for breaking a slant from montana into a huge play, than of his big hits.... did he even play defense? or do you mean special teams his rookie year?
patsox23 said:This is just ignorant. Jim Rice was the dominant hitter of his time. He had more HR, RBI, Total Bases, slugging %age, OPS and doubles than ANYONE during the span of his career. He had more "great" years than you may realize - pre-steroids and bandboxes - and he was an all-star 8 times and a top-5 MVP candidate FIVE TIMES.
People whose opinions I hold in especially high regard - Gammons and Mike Francesa, say what you will, both know a TON - think it's absurd that Rice isn't in. He's an automatic HOFer. It's ludicrous.
Also ludicrous? Gregg Jeffries got a vote. Walt Weiss got a vote. Hal Morris got FIVE! If these reporters aren't going to respect the responsibility the vote carries, they should be forced to relinquish it.
