Career
Boggs was known for his superstitions as much as his hitting. He ate chicken before every game (Jim Rice once called Boggs "chicken man"), woke up at the same time every day, took exactly 150 ground balls in practice, took batting practice at 5:17 and ran sprints at 7:17. His route to and from his position in the field beat a path to the home dugout. He drew the Hebrew word "Chai", meaning "life", in the batter's box before each at-bat, though he is not Jewish. Most people don't know that his favorite count was 3 balls and 2 strikes.

Wade Boggs once guest starred on Cheers (sixth season, "The Bar Wars") as himself. He also made a famous guest appearance in an episode of The Simpsons, (Homer at the Bat) in which he was punched out by Barney Gumble after arguing over who was the best Prime Minister in England's history (Boggs favored William Pitt the Elder, while Barney backed Lord Palmerston). Boggs was also portrayed in an episode of Futurama as a head in a sports museum. When Hank Aaron XXIV drinks out of Wade Boggs's jar he says, "Wade Boggs, goes down smooth!"
Boggs also recorded a few innings pitched at the Major League level. His main pitch was a mean knuckleball, which he allegedly used 16 times (along with one fastball) in one shutout inning of pitching for the Yankees against the Anaheim Angels in a 1997 game.
Boggs played in the longest game in professional baseball history as a member of the Pawtucket Red Sox in 1981 along with Cal Ripken Jr..
In 1999, he ranked number 95 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
An urban legend states that Boggs once drank 64 beers on a cross-country flight from Boston to Los Angeles, a feat which he denies.[1]
Boggs hit the first home run in Devil Rays history off Justin Thompson of the Detroit Tigers.
Boggs lost his mother in a car accident in Tampa while he was with the Red Sox. Shortly after her death, Boggs and his father bought a fish camp in Hawthorne, Florida on Lake Lochloosa they called FinWay which his father ran until shortly before he died.
Although not known primarily as a power hitter, Boggs is the career leader in home runs for a player born in Nebraska.
The team he played the least amount of time for (Tampa Bay Devil Rays) is the only team where his number is retired.
Boggs would induct "Mr Perfect" Curt Hennig into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 31, 2007. He had previously appeared in vignettes with Hennig that aired on WWE programming when he was first introduced, and was close friends with Hennig until his death. Bibliography
