He was really good at that. Currently 7th all time, tied with Eddie Murray.

I prefer to remember the homers. The announcers calls not so much since they seldom got enough time. "Here's the pitch, a swing homerun Jim Rice! " Some of them were just that quick.

The rest of the top 7 grounding into doubleplays is a pretty good group.
Cal Ripken, 350
Ivan Rodriguez 337
Hank Aaron 328
Albert Pujols 324 and counting (If I had the time, I'd have a move over hank here comes Albert shirt - Bonus if anyone gets what that refers to -should be easy)
Yaz 323
Dave Winfield 319
Murray and Rice at 315.
Julio Franco 312

And that's all over 300.

I bet most or all those guys had a lot more ABs than Rice. And I could swear I saw all 315 LOL.

Yep, and it's one of those law of large numbers things. You have to be a good player to stick around long enough to earn a dubious record like double plays, pitcher walks or batter K's. You rarely see bad players earning negative career records.
