Who will be selected to the MLB HOF next Tuesday

I really do like the Fenway Park comparison. Just for fun, I took a look at Jim Rice's numbers. He played his entire career at Fenway and was supposedly one of the most feared hitters of his era:

Career Numbers:
Home: 320 average, 208 homers, 803 rbis, 374 OBP, 920 OPS
Away: 277 average, 174 homers, 648 rbis, 330 OBP, 789 OPS

But no one really ever says "he was a Boston player" about anyone.

And it doesn't seem like the hallowed OPS+ number actually accounts for it enough either.

Using the career numbers of Boggs and Gwynn again:

Boggs OPS: .934 home .781 road .858 total

Gwynn OPS: .859 home .835 road .847 total

Yet both have the same career OPS+ per season.
