    if goose gossage is a hall of famer.....

    then jim rice should have been a first ballot hall of famer....

    like you said......for 10 years he was one of the most dominant players in the game.....

    RICE not getting in probably has more to do with attitude towards press than his actuall stats ,i've heard that on sports talk radio and then again maybe not ..who knows but it seems someone has a bug up their ass about him ....

    Yep, one MVP and 5 other top 5 in the MVP voting in 10 years is pretty dominant. Plus 3 home run titles and 2 rbi titles.

    I like the fact in 1978, he just missed the triple crown finishing 3rd in batting, first in homers and rbis, but more impressively, he also finished first in triples. What slugger ever leads the league in triples?

    Jim's numbers are borderline and the votes reflect

    pretty sure he never was a batting champ and has never won a championship
    even though he was a very good player for a very long time, .280 hitters dont get to the hall without something more.
    Well he has a .298 career average.
    He was MVP in 1978.
    77-79 he hit 39, 46 and 39 Hrs when 20 hrs was a big power season and hit .320, .315 and .325 those same years He was the AL's most feared hitter from 1976-1983.
    Eye problems cut his carer short, today lasix surgery would have extended his career a couple o fseasons and 400 Hr's would have been a lock.

    He basically would not talk to reporters during most of his playing days, so many now are exercising their revenge...quite petty.

    If they let Sandberg in they should let Andre Dawson in as well.
    Dawson had better numbers and was a multi-gold glove winner.

    look at these numbers and explain why this man isn't in the Hall

    smh @ bitter sports writers. isn't part of journalism to be objective, holding a grudge against a player who refuses to talk for 10+ years is a bit bias don't you think? They should just look at his numbers and era, instead of his personality.

    379 hr
    1,652 rbi
    0.289 average
    0.341 obp
    0.463 slugging

    7 time all-star
    no mvp, top 5 mvp ONCE

    but jim rice is not in with these numbers in 16 seasons?

    1,249 runs
    2,452 hits
    382 hr
    1,451 rbi
    0.298 average
    0.352 obp
    0.502 slugging

    8 time all-star
    1 mvp awards, top 5 mvp finish SIX times

    and if you want to bring up injuries, kirby puckett is in the HOF.

    Yeah but same can be said for Robby Alomar who played longer than Sandberg
    I'm not sure I could put Alomar in there

    I can't think of anyone better than Dawson either in the OF during the same era and there are 3 times as many OF'ers....Eddie Murray? Dave Winfield??
    Henderson??? Dawson had more gold gloves and as good of numbers as all these guys
