Default 2009 BBW Hall of Fame Vote
Posted By: howard

I'm not necessarily saying that Sam Rice doesn't belong in the Hall, just that Jim Rice is more worthy. However, if I were to play devil's advocate I'd say that he was a singles hitting OF in an era when the top hitters were batting .350 to .400 w/at least some power. Also, although he was fast he was a poor base stealer.
