here's an old article that talks about jim rice's best 12 years stretch (and why he shouldn't be in the hall):

good teammates that get on base in front of him, inflated home park #s, make alot of outs, was not even that feared/dominant when compared to other players in his era.
edit: and why drag jeter and reggie into the discussion? unlike rice, they actually belong in the hall.
