As a Yankee fan who watched more then his fair share of Jim Rice during that era...........that is one of the more ridiculous things I've ever read.
Top 5 in MVP voting 6 times..............there's not much more to say then that.
His accumulated stats suffered a bit because of injuries. No he didn't have a long of a career as a Dave Winfield. "urban myth".............I think not.
He was also under-rated as a Left Fielder and became very skilled at playing balls off the Green Monster as his career went on.
............and it's "Dwight" Evans.
