Jim Rice is a Boston Red Sox legend. Rice spent his entire career, 16 years, with the Sox and over that time the left fielder crushed 382 home runs, drove in 1,451 runs and batted .298. His greatest year came in 1978, when he rode such gaudy stats as a .315 batting average, 213 hits (including 15 triples and 46 home runs) and 139 RBI to an AL MVP Award. The eight-time All-Star was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1995. Jim Rice has hand signed this baseball and inscribed it "MVP 78." A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
