	Wade Boggs \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Boggs plans to be with son, not in majors from sptimes.com (11/12/01)
		Boggs was back to his old.300 self in 1993 for the contending Yanks, and made his first of four consecutive All-Star starts in pinstripes.
		Boggs made a splash by socking the first home run in Devil Rays history, and in the relatively low-key environment of his hometown -- he was an all-state kicker on the football team for Tampa's Plant High School -- Boggs seemed virtually assured of reaching the 3,000-hit plateau.

	Wade Boggs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wade Anthony Boggs (born June 15, 1958 in Omaha, Nebraska) is a former third baseman in Major League Baseball, primarily with the Boston Red Sox, whose hitting in the 1980s and 1990s dominated the American League in much the same way as his National League contemporary Tony Gwynn.
		Boggs was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005.
		Boggs is reported to have offered the Tampa Bay Devil Rays him choosing to be inducted with their regalia in exchange for an additional million dollars, a term that was reportedly accepted by the owners.

	Hallmark of Boggs was his plate discipline - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Red Sox - Sports
		Boggs may never have had that extra something that officially renders a player ''beloved," a la Ted, Yaz, or Pudge, but he was relentlessly efficient, a man who irritated and frustrated pitchers almost as much by not swinging the bat (1,412 walks) as he did by swinging it (3,010 hits).
		Yup, Wade Anthony Boggs is an official Hall of Famer (along with Ryne Sandberg), and the reason he was up there making an oft-emotional acceptance speech yesterday was spelled out in the first sentence of his plaque.
		As a player, Boggs was known for his stoicism, but as a retiree he is freer to express his emotions, and he let it all out on the subject of his mother, who was killed in an automobile accident during the 1986 season.

	Wade Boggs: 2005 Hall of Fame inductee - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Red Sox - Sports
		Wade's father didn't retire from the service until 1967, and the Hall of Famer remembers that his mother did a lot of the driving and cheering from the bleachers in his early years.
		Debbie Boggs remembers being uncomfortably pregnant during the playoffs, and the five-hour flight to California for the ALCS was particularly torturous.
		Wade Boggs still goes to the batting cage and is still at his playing weight of 205 pounds.
