Baseball Legend Jim Rice was finally inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY over the weekend. After 15 years on the ballot, and in his final year of eligibility he has been inducted. The power hitting left-fielder played his entire career with the Boston Red Sox (1974 – 1989) and is truly one of the best to have played the game. He ended his career with 382 home runs, ranking 10th in American League history. On Tuesday night, number 14 was retired sealing his place in history. Jim Rice, a look back.

Jay-Z has been lined up to replace the Beastie Boys at All Points West on July 31.
The Beastie Boys cancelled all tour plans and postponed the release of their upcoming album ‘Hot Sauce Committee’ after Adam Yauch was diagnosed with cancer of the preaortic gland and lymph node.
Yauch said that the condition was “treatable”, and that he would undergo treatment soon.
The slot will be Jay-Z’s first festival appearance in the US, having already performed at Glastonbury and Roskilde among others.
Tool will headline the New Jersey event on August 1 while Coldplay close things out on August 2.
