Timeline
Rice was inducted into the Chicago Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. He died in Chicago at the age of 92.
In the decisive fifth of the 1972 American League Championship Series, Rice, umpiring at first base, made a controversial call in the top of the fourth inning that was hotly disputed by the Detroit Tigers. George Hendrick of the Oakland A's was called safe on a play where the ball clearly beat him to first base, but Rice ruled that first baseman Norm Cash's foot had come off the bag. Hendrick ended up scoring the game-winning run that sent Oakland to the World Series.
Rice was behind the plate in Game 3 of the 1971 World Series when Bob Robertson of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit a three-run home run off Baltimore Orioles 20-game winner Mike Cuellar after missing a bunt sign. The home run proved to be a turning point as Pittsburgh rallied from down 2 games to 0 to win Game 3 and the World Series in seven games.

Rice was born in Homestead, Pennsylvania. He played semi-professional baseball in Chicago before joining the United States Marine Corps during World War II, serving from 1942 to 1943 in Guadalcanal and Peleliu.
