Posnanski: Thoughts on Rice

"I am a husband called Rice. I am a father called Dad. I am a brother called Ed. I�m an uncle called Uncle Ed. I�m a grandfather called Papa. I am a friend that doesn�t call. Some of my friends know that. Sometimes it�s best to not call at all. Finally, and I do mean finally, I am Jim Rice who is called a Baseball Hall of Famer." -- Jim Rice, reading his induction speech
