Jim Rice should NOT be in the HOF. He was not the best of the best in his era...not even close. Guys like Eddie Murray, Paul Molitor, George Brett, Ozzie Smith, Dave Winfield, Wade Boggs were the best of the best of that era. Letting Kirby Puckett in was a mistake, but there were extenuating circumstances there. If you say that Rice should get in because Puckett is in, then I agree that Dawson and Murphy should get in as well. But the Baseball Hall of Fame is for the elite....not the pretty good.
