More Quotes from Wade Boggs:
It doesn't matter if you get 3,000 hits in 18 years or you get 3,000 hits in 22 years. You still have to reach that milestone. You still have to hit 500 home runs, and it's like a pitcher doing it. If you get 300 wins in 19 years and a guy gets 300 wins after 24 years, he's still doing something right.Wade Boggs

Once I went to New York and we started winning, then the rivalry started to come back just a little bit. And then once I left New York, it's full-fledged now. It's a rip-roaring force fire right.

There's a plaque missing in the hallway, as far as I'm concerned. He was one of the greatest hitters in the game. What he did was wrong, but as far as one of the greatest players to ever play the game the right way, he deserves it.
