Pity vote... basically everybody who pulled the race card owes the BBWAA an apology.

We just lowered the standards of getting into the Hall of Fame.

You did nothing but weaken a country today.

Congratulations, Mr. Rice.

As I have written before, I was born and raised in Providence, but raised a die hard Yankee fan. There is no other Red Sox player that I admired more than Jim Rice. He did more behind the scene Charity work that he did not want discussed than any player in Boston that I know of. Ted and Yaz
were wonderful but Jim did it with a low keyed swagger. Goose said last year that he feared no batter except Jim Rice. If you want to speak about lowering standards my friend you need look no further than Bill Mazeroski, good glove one memorable Home Run and nothing else.
Congratulations James Edward Rice, HOF'2009.
