Number Thirty-Five: Jim Rice.


Jim Rice was one of the most fearsome and feared hitters of his day or so I'm told. He called Boston home for sixteen seasons. In 1975 he was second in rookie-of-the-year voting to Fred Lynn. His 1978 season with forty-six home runs and fifteen triples netted him an MVP. Knee problems, unfortunately, brought an end to his career. But he seems like a genuine and nice guy. Plus, he's a snappy dresser.
