Wade Boggs Tribute Video, 3010 hits, .328 Average and 107 beers in a Day

Wade Boggs, forged an 18-year MLB career defined by precision and consistency. Debuting with the Boston Red Sox in 1982, the Tampa native exploded in 1983, batting .361 as a rookie—the highest average since the Dead Ball Era. From 1985 to 1989, he claimed five consecutive AL batting titles, hitting .368, .357, .363, .366, and .330. Ted Williams hailed him as the finest pure hitter of his era. Boggs sprayed line drives everywhere, amassing 3,010 hits (9th all-time), 578 doubles, and a .328 lifetime average. He walked (1,412) nearly twice as often as he struck out (745), showcasing elite plate discipline. Though not a power slugger, he belted 118 homers, including 24 in 1987 while hitting .363.After 11 years in Boston, Boggs joined the rival Yankees in 1996. Red Sox fans howled, but he delivered—clinching the ’96 World Series with a Game 4 RBI single and famously riding a police horse in celebration. He added rings in ’99 and 2000, then closed his career with his hometown Tampa Bay Devil Rays, hitting .301 at age 41.A 12-time All-Star, first-ballot Hall of Famer (2005), and chicken-eating ritualist, Boggs turned preparation into poetry. His legacy: consistency, contact, and three championships.
