Does Jim Rice really think...

If only being labeled "one of the most feared hitters of his generation" was enough to get you into the HOF.

Best,

Albert Belle

Very similar, in that it took Rice so long to get in bc the writers didnt like. They hate Belle, so he has no shot.

You mean "one of the most feared hitters of his generation (at Fenway Park)"


Jim Rice was Duke Snider in Fenway Park, and Jim Lemon on the Road.

Not quite.

Never mind Rice, what the hell is Rizzuto in the HOF for?

He was one of the best shortstops of his era.

"so he has no shot" - meaning he still does? That ship sailed a LONG time ago :lol: It might be hard for some to tell because of all the cards he is still on today (unlike some players like Rice) but he has been out of the league for a while now
