Original Toronto Star caption: Breaking the bat: When the slugger Jim Rice came up in the first inning last night at Exhibition Stadium, with men at second and third and no one out, everyone was expecting the Boston star to give Jay starter Doyle Alexander a lot of trouble. However, he broke his bat and bounced the ball back to the pitcher. The Sox did get one run later in the inning when Wade Boggs scored.
