I was visiting a college just outside of Orlando when I was seventeen and was aggressively hit on by Wade Boggs. Granted, I was in a bar, so I understand his confusion, but even when I told him I was only seventeen, he was quite persistent. He was all red and shiny, it was incredibly uncomfortable. And he's a close talker.
Interesting sidenote: a good friend of mine went home from the same bar with JC Chasez of NSync fame about a year later.

After one of the Yankees World Series titles, Wade hopped up on the back of one of the cops' horses, and they rode around together, highfiving the crowd. It was so gay, I couldn't believe it. He had one arm wrapped around the manly torso of the cop. It was like when Hans dreamed of riding with Patrick Swayze. I'm just sayin'

If a one finger shocker from Wade Boggs is the price to get deadspin commenter status, so be it. Pony up Wade, we're going for a ride.

Wade was a legendary boozer. I remember my friend meeting him at some charity function in Westchester and Wade got himself so pissed drunk he couldn't open up a simple gate hinge. Then when he got elected into the hall of fame, he celebrated by drinking 20 someodd beers at Mickey Mantle's on Central Park South. But I will always remember Wade as doing the Macarena on a very very very very very cheese comercial that the Yankees made for "Macarena Night" back in August of '96. Beyond ridicoulous.

@Rickey_Fitts: I thought the reference was to last night's beating of the Senators. Don't mind me.

Speaking of beatings, I just watched that video...

I don't like having to Wade through these types of posts on Deadspin, it really Boggs me down at work.

the years of torment, boozing and horn-dogging have completely zapped him of the ability to articulate anything

That hasn't stopped Berman from working.

Don't forget the incident where he lost his pants just outside of a Boston bar. He claimed they were stolen, but come on.

@Al Czerviks Ride to Denver via Albany: I'm not sure, but what Nathan Gerbe just did to JPL should not be legally allowed in any state or commonwealth. 2-0 Eagles on a Gerbe shortie. No pun intended.

It's fitting that a career singles hitter would use a one-fingered shocker.

"Wade, what do you see as the strengths of this resugent Orioles team?"

"So then Mike Boddicker hands me an empty vermouth bottle and I smash it over the guy's head. Only later when I was going down on his niece did I find out he was in the clergy."
