I also say YES! Here's some reasons: On Baseball Reference dot com Mr. Rice's Hall of Fame monitor for batting is 146.5, (Anything over 100 is considered a Hall of Famer. I saw him play and he was a dangerous hitter. Led the league in: Slugging twice, OPS once, Hits Once, Total Bases four times, Triples once, HR's three times and RBI twice. Four season with over 200 hits, including three consecutive. Seven season with 90 or more runs. Eight seasons with 100 RBI or more. Seven times batting over .300. Mr. Rice was truely an amazing player. He should be in the Hall of Fame.
