This is Jim Rice's last chance and he is a South Carolina native. Hopefully he gets in, I think he deserves it.

His numbers


with 15 seasons of at least 50 games, hit .298 with a .502 slugging percentage, 382 homers, 1,451 RBIs, 2,452 hits, 1,249 runs, 373 doubles and 79 triples.



Quote:
On Monday when the results of voting by 10-year members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America are revealed, the 55-year-old native of Anderson, S.C., will find out if that’s changed. It’s his last year of eligibility before his case is passed on to the Veterans Committee.

He doesn’t plan to wait by the phone.

“If I was in South Carolina, I’d probably be playing golf,” Rice said. “If I’m in Boston, I hope I’m not shoveling snow.”

Jim Rice is in the Hall of Fame after 15 years. He should be in, glad to see it.

Mark McGwire received less votes than he did last year. I thought that was interesting.

he deserved to get in, but I've met him in person a few years ago and he was real jerk
