This baseball card from Topps is how I always think of Jim Rice:
It's funny, this card is from 1989, the year I turned 13. Man, I loved the design of that series. It might be my favorite baseball card year. Even the backs of the cards were cool.
Interestingly enough, 1989 was also Rice's final year with the Sox, his final year in baseball. Yeah, that's back when players played their whole careers with one team.
Unlike this current crop of players. Some of these guys, especially the left-fielders, for example, are just hired guns.
Not class acts like Jim Rice.
Congrats!
