Contemporaneous accounts of Jim Rice

Wezen has it for you.

He was probably the “most feared” in 1978.  Other years, Schmidt and Brett and Eddie Murray (and on and on) were more “feared”.  In any case, the two stupidest arguments about the Hall of Fame ("he was the most feared of his generation”, and “he’s not rickey"), would both be embarrassing arguments in an elementary school paper; how editors decide to allow such b.s. in national media is nothing but an insult to its readership.
