07/31: Wade Boggs enters Hall

Posted by: Michael

Wade Boggs entered the Hall of Fame today. Although he entered the hall wearing a Red Sox cap, he will still be a beloved Yankee in helping them claim their title in '96.

My favorite Wade Boggs moment was when he pitched against the then Anaheim Angels.

Wade Boggs pitching his knuckeball

Wade Boggs pitches one scoreless inning of relief for the Yankees in a blowout loss to the Anaheim Angels. Boggs threw 16 knuckleballs and one fastball that clocked 74 mph. "I was Phil Niekro and Charlie Hough all rolled into one," said a beaming Boggs.

What's your favorite Boggs moment?

Yeah, I'd say Boggs pitching that inning in Anaheim would be my biggest in-game memory, but when I think of him I'll always think of him riding on that horse at the Stadium after they clinched the series in '96. He claims to be afraid of horses. :)

Good look, Michael. I can't believe I forgot to mention we had a Yankee enter the hall today!

Congrats Mr. Boggs.

My favorite Wade Boggs moment... I don't know. Him walking in that run, him on the horse, that pitching performance all come to mind. :)

Him on that horse...jeez, just looking at him then - you could read all that emotion on his face...that was something to see - by far my fav. Boggs moment.

I have to go with drawing the game-winning RBI walk in the Leyritz game in the 1996 World Series as the last man off the Yankee bench.
