Red Sox are retiring Wade Boggs's number (26) next season. I watched him play growing up and despite his personal issues and general lousy disposition he was a one heck of a hitter. 7 straight seasons of 200+ hits. He could foul off pitches for days until he got one he could line somewhere. I was even at the first game he played in at Fenway with my Dad when I was a wee SwiftPup.
I even have almost forgiven him for going to the Evil Empire when he left as a free agent. Almost.......
Long Live The Chicken Man!
