Hall of Fame: Wade Boggs

Drinker’s Hall of Fame

Wade Boggs

Wade Anthony Boggs was a Major League Baseball third baseman who played for the Red Sox, their rivals the Yankees and some team from Tampa Bay. He had an amazing career with over 3000 career hits and over a .300 batting average, but enough about the boring facts, onto drinking stats.

Wade is a renowned drinker, once quoted saying “Beer doesn’t affect me”. He became legendary after rumors began to circulate that he was drinking between 50-70 beers on cross country trips between games. Some claim his record number was 64, some 73, the man himself says it may have been over 100.

Wade’s ability to down beers became known in pop culture first with an appearance on the Simpsons (Pictured Above) where he hilariously fights the town drunk Barney. His more recent major appearance, which has reignited the fame of his alcohol prowess was on the FX show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, in which he appears as a hallucination during a contest to break his record (Pictured Above).
