The sports writers saved the "Best" for last. They all should be ashamed of themselves for making Jim wait fifteen years. I guess thats the price you pay for not "sucking up" to the media. It's disgrace this guy had to wait fifteen years. Congratulations Jim, well deserved!!report abuseredsox19

Congratulations Jim Rice! He has better credentials than many players who were voted in before him! He was not a great fan of "the media" (and who is?), which may explain why it took so long.report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment. Register or log in.
