Jim Rice Inducted… Finally
It took 15 years but it finally happened. Jim Rice is where he belongs, in Cooperstown. He put up incredible numbers, absolutely incredible numbers for 12 years, including a 1978 MVP campaign. He also led the league in home runs 3 times! His .298 career average could easily be over .300 had his numbers not dropped over his final three career years, and his 382 career homers would have been 400 had his final three years been close to his averages. If there ever was a borderline player who most definitely deserved to be in the Hall, it is Jim Rice.
He got 76.4% of the necessary 75%, giving him just enough votes to be inducted, and was extremely deserving of every vote.
it’s really about time too!! He deserved it, he put up stellar numbers
