Jim Rice Stats

Jim Rice was born on Sunday, March 8, 1953, in Anderson, South Carolina. Rice was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 19, 1974, with the Boston Red Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Jim Rice baseball stats page.

"He (Jim Rice) has the right attitude, but I suspect he's not going to get as much opportunity. He had six-hundred seventy-seven (677) times at-bat last year. That's amazing. They'll pitch to him a little differently this time." - Ted Williams
