Won't see players like him anymore. Very few hit to the opposite field nowadays. It's HR or bust. Even little guys swing for the fences every AB. Players now would rather go 3-20 with 3 HRs and 12 Ks than 10-17 with 3 2B and 3 BB in a 4 game series.

As a teenage Red Sox fan in the 80s, Boggs and Clemens were my favorite players. My dad would leave the Washington Post sports section for me so I could check every morning whether the Sox had won and whether Boggs was still leading the AL in BA. I got lucky and saw Clemens pitch three times at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore and saw many Boggs hits. Great memories.

On top of all this Boggs is an incredibly nice guy..I met him in 95 when the All Star game came to Philly and he was so cool to everyone!.To this day I know people who collect autographs and Boggs is a guy who writes u back just about every time..Class

Cal Ripken literally is baseball personified of all time. Not just the 80's. He is the ultimate personification of a baseball player. Taught the right way to play Day 1 by his Dad who was in the middle of the Orioles when they were the Best organization in MLB for a big stretch. The lesser talented son still ended up Billy Ripken. Even Billy Ripken is baseball personified. But Cal Ripken is just a total born and raised Oriole from Day 1 by the Orioles and personified it all. How could Wade Boggs really even have a chance. Cal Ripken Sr. doesn't get the credit he deserves. What a legend coach. The only manager to manage 2 sons starting in the Majors. When think about that. How can you be more baseball personified than the Ripkens. You Had Jr the MVP at SS, Sr. the Former 3B coach now managing, and Billy at second base with Rookie of year. The Ripken way is the best little league now too. Sorry, Wade Boggs just isn't baseball personified even close to even Billy Ripken, let alone Cal. Cal was a better player than Boggs but while Boggs was definitely better than Billy, if just talking the personification of baseball, even Billy personifies baseball more than Boggs. The Ripkens are baseball Royalty. Bow Down #BendTheKnee

Boggs had the most extreme home-road relative splits of anyone. His home OPS+ was about 155 and his road OPS+ was around 115 and that's if we adjust for a normal home field advantage. His road rates are .302/.387/.395. Estimates have been made that the Green Monster turned 20-25 fly outs into doubles and home runs each year he played there. His road rates predict a borderline hall of famer, maybe 90th all time, though I still think he deserves some credit for taking maximum advantage of his home park, most players just didn't have a home park that was unique enough to take advantage of like that.

5:50 - To be fair, Dan Quisenberry was a bit of a sensation at the time. I grew up watching him as a Tigers fan and he was no joke. As a soft tossing sidearmer, he broke the single season save record that had stood for over a decade. He never struck anybody out, but he also never walked anybody and had a five year prime when his ERA was never over 2.75 and twice was below 2.00. If the Royals had a lead heading into the 8th, expect a handful of weak grounders to end the game in a Royals victory. In the grand scheme of things, his WAR was lower than Boggs... but Boggs was also the perfect fit for Fenway... just slapping balls against the Green Monster that would have been routine fly balls in most parks... or at least that was the common thinking at the time... and I think at least partially accurate. Baines is probably a fair criticism... as his numbers are very pedestrian in the WAR sense... but he wasn't yet a DH. At the time he was still an everyday right fielder with a very good throwing arm.

While on a hunting trip with WWE HOFer Curt Henning, Mr. Perfect. Boggs would get badly injured on a barbwire fence. His situation was considered dire and potentially fatal and Mr. Perfect got Boggs loose and carried him to aid. When WWE honered Mr. Perfect in their HOF it was Wade Boggs that inducted him, Henning passed in 2003.

Haha 😂 but to be fair that’s every year!

Will you do a video on Robin Yount? To me the quietest 3000 hit club member/HOFer outside of Milwaukee.

That’s a great suggestion!

Dope vid. Do one about Vlad Guerrero and what that means for Jr.'s future

Hard guy to dislike. Even as a RedSox. Was thrilled when he came to NY. Wade on an NYPD hoarse after the WS is a historic NY Yankees pic.

If Boggs was in NL theres a good chance Mattingly has 2 MVPs and possibly makes HOF

dude....him, Gwynn, and Ichiro were the greatest hitters IMO. fuckers never struck out (hardly).

Kent Hrbek should had won 1982 ROY. Repeat Gold Glove, repeat World Series. Small market team loses out to bigger media team. Kent in 20 less games had a 301 average almost 40 points higher then Ripken. More hits, RBI, walks, every stat that counts..... just another popularity contest

Boggs hit 24 HRs in 1987. That's 20 % of his career total, and never hit more than 20 again. That's crazy!

Wade Boggs is like Ted Williams with no power

I wouldn't say no power. He mashed doubles at a high rate.

Very different style of hitting for sure!

Not quite: Ted is in a different stratosphere with his OBP. But I get what you're saying.

@@MrShanester117 you can have a similar opposite field approach to hitting, but for me Boggs’ approach is rare in that he wasn’t concerned with home runs. He clearly was built to, he just focused on hitting line drives much like Gwynn

my favorite player as a kid. such a great hitter. Wonder how he would do in today's game. Noone hits above .300 anymore.

Yes yes they do.....look at Ronald acuna jr

wade boggs' carpet world! wade boggs' carpet world!

Few can rock the " Magnum P.I. 'stache".

However I loved playing against him and was amazed by his discipline and hitting.

Wade Boggs was a great hitter ... Clutch Contact hitter and good opposite field hitter.

Super underrated......... Uh ya the youtuber cam

So consistent.

My fave MLBer of all time!

Boggs is a top 10 of all time, for sure.

All those come-backers… not too late. Not too early. Swinging exactly right on time.
