Rice spent his entire 16-year career with the Boston Red Sox. He was an eight-time American League All-Star, compiled 2,452 hits and hit 382 home runs. 

In 1978, Rice was named the AL Most Valuable Player when he was the first player in 19 years to collect 400 total bases. Overall, he led the league in homers three times and RBI twice. 

The Red Sox retired Rice's #14 in 2009. That same year, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on the final ballot.
