"In his era, nobody for FEARED then JIM RICE (non-steroids to boot!)"
"Incredible numbers and without the steroids!!"
"Jim's induction is already way past due."
"Put Jim in. His numbers have earned him a spot. Just because he was not a media darling doesn't make it right to exclude him. The fans and Jim deserve better."
"HAD SOME GREAT YEARS IN THE PAW SOX ALSO"
"Jim Rice was a great player,"
"Long overdue"
"I saw Rice all my life....He had an awsome arm. I've been in the blechers at Fenway and one of my most vivid memories is Rice takin it off the wall and putting it on a line to home plate. Put him in...a solid left fielder."
"Great player, and possibly could have won Rookie of the Year honors rather than Fred Lynn if he hadn't been injured."
"Do the right thing. Let him in!"
"My God was Jim a joy to watch play. My first Sox game on a Cub Scout trip my dad and I sat 10 rows back from the on deck circle and I hollered some gibberish like "Go Jim!! You're the best!" He turned and took a few steps towards us and flashed a Fonzie-l"

"election long overdue."
"It is a travesty that he is not already in there"
"Jim Ed is way better than at least 10 HOF players"
"Jim Rice was the dominant hitter in the majors at one time, which many HOF's cannot say. Has the best power numbers of any non-HOF's before the pinball era of the last decade. 12 year prime (1975-1986) is plenty of longevity; too many players are voted in"
