40 years later, a look back at the day Jim Rice saved a boy's life at Fenway Park

I had forgotten about this, but that's because Jim Rice never made sure I remembered. A class act - on the field and off.

Way to go, Hall of Famer!

So glad they have the nets around the field now.

Back in the mid-70s, Rice, Lynn, and Evans became the Red Sox outfield....and it was a beautiful thing. Evans, pure D; Lynn, pure hitter; Rice, pure power. A humble man, if I've ever seen one. Been on NESN since retiring.....25 years?
