Jim Rice gets the shaft....Again


Once again former Boston Greay jim Rice has been denied entrance into the Hall of Fame. Coming up short by 15 or so votes this time. This is a travesty that a player with his credentials is not in the Hall let alone the fact he has been passed up so many times. Heres the link. If you ask me its MULARKEY.
