(Williams, Yaz, Rice) in the Hall of Fame is another record.

Rice came up in 1975 with Fred Lynn. Of course, Lynn won both ROY and MVP that season. Because of his reckless play, Lynn's career wasn't as long or productive as it should have been. Having Dwight Evans in right field made this one of the best outfields in history--on both offense and defense.

Also one of the best World Series ever against the Reds. Cincy won Game 7, but most remember Fisk's HR in Game 6.
