Sam Rice (Edgar Charles Rice) was born on February 20, 1890 in Morocco, Indiana. He made his Major League debut on August 7, 1915 for the Washington Senators. In 1916, his rookie year, he hit .299 with 1 home run and 17 RBI. Rice played for the Washington Senators and Cleveland Indians over the course of his 20 year career.
There is some disagreement on what was Sam Rice's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1925, when he stole 26 bases, hit for a .350 average and knocked in 87 runs. However, others believe that it was 1920, when he stole 63 bases, hit for a .338 average and knocked in 80 runs.
