quandavid i completely agree with you, judging by modern stats rice should be nowhere near cooperstown. his home/away splits are horrible, he benefitted from playing half his games at fenway and some good red sox teams. even then his stats were still marginal. hard to quantify that "most feared hitter of his era" thing though, whatever that means.
