It's no big secret around here that I'm a sports fan, nor is it a secret that I think Rob Neyer is one of the best baseball columnists around.

And given my Yankee fandom, it should come as no surprise that I had a full-on, five-alarm nerdgasm when I read his blog entry today rebutting Dan Shaughnessy's column on Jim Rice's candidacy for the Hall of Fame. I don't support Rice's case for the Hall of Fame. Neither does Neyer, and he brilliantly illustrates (again) why Rice's case just doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

You can read the entry here.
