Our beloved Red Sox are retiring Hall of Famer Wade “Blogs” Boggs’ number tonight. A great contact hitter in his time, he attributed his .328 lifetime average and over 3,000 career hits to his strong hands he developed through countless long nights crushing 12oz curls. That’s right, while other players where sticking steroids up their butts to gain a competitive advantage, Boggs was doing it the old fashioned way, 12 oz’s, 13 carbs, and 1.6 grams of protein at a time. (Beer, I’m talking about drinking Beer). He was like a slow pitched softball player except he was in The Show, I’m pretty sure he kept a keg in his locker.
Wade Boggs won a World Series, he won 5 batting titles, he made 12 All-Star games, but his biggest accomplishment was crushing over 100 beers on a cross-country flight. Some call it myth, some call it legend, when asked to comment on the occasion Boggs stated, “I don’t remember”, now that sounds like a man who drank over 100 beers to me. You’re a legend in our books Wade, and you can join us on the couch for some 12oz curls anytime.
