Rice's numbers are close, but I don't think he's being blackballed. Is Gossage, or Garvey, or Blyleven being blackmailed also?
I would take Andre Dawson before Rice. Rice had more pure power in his heyday, but "The Hawk" was about as good a hitter, and was a brilliant outfielder and baserunner.

With that logic, Dale Murphy would be in there before Rice. 2 MVPs and doesn't make it. And McGwire, 580+ hrs, a gold glove. Rice's numbers are good, great even, but I think they are just short of Hall of Fame Status. He fell off so sharply later in his career, and stayed on too long.

We'll let Rice in the same year they let in Pete Rose

JIM RICE DESERVED TO BE IN THE HOF. ONE OF HIS PROBLEMS IS THAT HE WASN'T A MEDIA DARLING LIKE RIPKEN.

Rice should be in. They will put him in eventually I think.
