Wade Boggs announces he has prostate cancer
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
Baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs announced on Saturday that he is batting prostate cancer. In a post on social media, the 66-year-old Boggs wrote he is "going to ring that damn bell" with an accompanying photo of a prostate cancer patient guide. https://x.com/ChickenMan3010/status/1832446713937764766 Boggs played 18 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays. The third baseman was a 12-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove Award winner, five-time AL batting champion, eight-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and won a a World Series in 1996 with the Yankees. The Red Sox and Rays both retired his number and he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005. "Sending our well wishes to @ChickenMan3010 as he battles prostate cancer," read a post on X by the Baseball Hall of Fame. "We're with you every step of the way, Wade!" According to the American Cancer Society, there are approximately 299,010 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed every year and about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime.

Wish him the best. Loved him with the Yanks those 5 seasons. Never recaptured his prime (aside from the gut-punch of the shortened 1994 season), but definitely rebounded from a down final year with the Sox and had a bunch of solid seasons while also playing a real solid 3B for them.

How can he say he was never a goal-oriented person? Was he misquoted? He was as focused on his hitting goals as anyone in the game.

Great player, but I remember Yankee hecklers yelling who names their kid, "Wade"?
