James Edward Rice
(born March 8, 1953), nicknamed
"Jim Ed"
, is a former
Major League Baseball
left fielder
and
designated hitter
. He was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame
on July 26,
2009
, as the 103rd member voted in by the
BBWAA
. Rice played his entire 16-year baseball career for the
Boston Red Sox
.
Rice was an eight-time
American League
(AL)
All-Star
and was named the AL's
Most Valuable Player
in
1978
after becoming the first major league player in 19 years to hit for 400
total bases
. He went on to become the ninth player to lead the major leagues in total bases in consecutive seasons. He joined
Ty Cobb
as one of two players to lead the AL in total bases three years in a row. He
batted
.300 seven times, collected 100
runs batted in
(RBI) eight times and 200
hits
four times, and had eleven seasons with 20
home runs
. He also led the league in home runs three times, RBIs and
slugging percentage
twice each.
In the late 1970s he was part of one of the sport's great outfields along with
Fred Lynn
and
Dwight Evans
(who was his teammate for his entire career); Rice continued the tradition of his predecessors
Ted Williams
and
Carl Yastrzemski
as a power-hitting left fielder who played his entire career for the Red Sox. He ended his career with a .502 slugging percentage, and then ranked tenth in AL history with 382 home runs; his career marks in homers, hits (2,452), RBI (1,451) and total bases (4,129) remain Red Sox records for a right-handed hitter, with Evans eventually surpassing his Boston records for career
runs scored
,
at bats
and
extra base hits
by a right-handed hitter. When Rice retired, his 1,503 career games in left field ranked seventh in AL history.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
