Been a long time since I checked out his stats, but damn that guy never got hurt. All those years playing on turf too. Its a shame he's too much of an asshole to be in the Hall of Fame. The All Time Leaders in Hits and Home Runs, won't be enshrined because they are both filth.
Since I was thinking Hall of Fame, Jim Rice doesn't deserve to be in. If I were picking a team from the era, I'd take Dale Murphy over him any day. Murphy didn't play with the same caliber players as Rice, to be producing as many runs; but Murphy has all those Gold Glove in center field, with that power. Back to back MVP's. He also played every game, no DHing when he was too hung over to take the field.
