No clue on the Billy Williams thing other than Williams was liked by the media and Rice wasn't. Sadly, that has a lot to do with HOF voting. I personally think Rice belongs. He was the most feared hitter in the game for over 5 years, but is penalized for being disliked by the media and not having a long enough career. He was a better hitter and player than Puckett, but Puckett got in becuase of his ability and the fact that he was a media darling and lead the Twins to 2 WS titles.
At least don't have to worry about Canseco getting in this way, but we do with McGwire.
