I'm actually kind of curious to hear Jim Rice. My recollection is that he was off the charts on the Eddie Murray Personality/Hostility scale.

I caddied in a Michael Jordan celebrity golf touranment in the early 90's, probably 1992 and had
Jim Rice and Stan Makita in my group. I carried for a couple of Gatorade execs. I didn't get to spend
that much time near him personally but remember he could hit the hell out of a golf ball off the tee.

I remember reading that as a kid. Sure enough, in Boy's Life, March 1980, Hawk Harrelson states that Rice can drive a golf ball 450 yards. I think he was known for driving longer than any tour pro back in the day.
