Jim Rice

Personally, the career of Jim Rice is something interesting, just looking at his stats. Its interests I to see what seemed like a plateau for Rice, in the middle of his career. For three strait years Rice finished off the year with less than 100 RBI's. But Rice picked up the slack, and hit 100 RBI's or more for the next 3 seasons. That is what impressed me the most about Rice. He makes a perfect example that you can learn from your mistakes. He struck out 123 times in his second season, and never wiffed more than that for the rest of his career. The reason I think that Rice was inducted on his last possible ballot of eligibility, was because so many other outfielders are great hitters like Rice, but Rice will be inducted today in Cooperstown congrats Rice, your a legend.
