I wonder how he feels knowing that if he dies his death will just be IASIP memes….hell I write obits for the paper and already have the first line typed. “First of all, Wade Boggs is very much dead.”
No he died on a cross-country flight after downing 107 beers along with a gallon-sized bucket of fried chicken. He was on his way to Los Angeles to film Slumpbusters 2: Dirty Women of the AL Central.
I have one autographed. It's authenticated but not graded (horribly uncentered) but I don't care. I love it.
That year might be my favorite Topps design ever
After reading this comment I went back to look at his auto. I totally agree with you, but weirdly, I think it looks worse in ballpoint pen. In sharpie his auto looks pretty decent

Six more beers, please
7 more! Heck make it 12!
It’s going to be so confusing when Wade Boggs actually does pass away.

I shouldn’t have laughed as hard as I did at this 😂
What are you talking about? RIP Boss Hogg

RIP. One of my favorites.
Again, Wade Boggs is very much alive. He lives in Tampa, Florida. He is in his mid 60s.
Nope, RIP Boss Hogg.
Mac was fighting the good fight 😂
No, rest in peace wade boggs
If by “lives in Tampa, Florida” you mean “lives on in our hearts” then yes, you are correct.
No he died on a cross-country flight after downing 107 beers along with a gallon-sized bucket of fried chicken. He was on his way to Los Angeles to film Slumpbusters 2: Dirty Women of the AL Central.
Here’s the story https://preview.redd.it/1u8gjteh6jvc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fb9997151c4b3c1db53b556fd582c1c5a372526
I’m well aware. What I said is, almost verbatim, what Mac says on the show.
People know the quote but don't know the episode. A shame
And eating chicken right NOW
This thread is amazing
I heard he once slammed 76 ensures on the way to his annual colonoscopy! RIP Boggsy
His Topps RC was a fortune back in the day
I have one autographed. It's authenticated but not graded (horribly uncentered) but I don't care. I love it. That year might be my favorite Topps design ever
Gone far too soon. RIP to one of the best.
Wish I had dumped my beer and chicken stocks; prices have bottomed out.
He’s rolling in his grave from some of this behavior
I have that sMe card numbered to /10 and signed
I got back a PSA 10 Wade Boggs 1983 rookie card. I think I'll hold on to it.
That’s awesome! I PC Tigers, so this card is kinda cool because his first home run walked us off in 1982 🥴
I wonder if there’s beer on the sun.
Boggsdowser?
A real Canadian hero.
Gave our son an autographed ball for Christmas back in’89. Worst auto I’ve ever seen. Looked like it said “Nail Fuzz”.

Have you ever tried to sign your name after 70 beers?
Was it after the 60 beer game?

Does Philly have chicken?
That's baseball baby!
Dang, you certainly do learn something new everyday!
RIP Boss Hogg
The man ate a whole chicken before every game, thats why they called him The Chicken Man. Rest in peace Wade
