Wade Boggs — the five-time AL batting champion, the most consistent contact hitter of the 1980s, the third baseman who hit .338 over ten Red Sox seasons, the player who ate chicken before every game and turned pre-game routine into a science — signed this grey Red Sox road jersey. JSA-certified genuine.

Boggs attended H.B. Plant High School in Tampa and later Churchill High School, developing the batting stance and swing mechanics that made him one of the most difficult hitters in baseball to get out. The Boston Red Sox drafted Boggs in the seventh round of the 1976 MLB Draft, and he spent six seasons in the Red Sox minor league system before making his Major League debut in 1982. What followed in Boston was one of the most sustained contact-hitting streaks in baseball history: five AL batting titles (1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988), a .338 batting average across ten Red Sox seasons, and the kind of on-base production that made him the most feared leadoff-type hitter of his decade. The grey Sox road jersey he signed is the travel garment of the Red Sox chapter of his career.

Boggs ate chicken in some form before every contest for his entire career, insisting that the protein and the ritual routine were essential to his performance. The habit was so well-known that Kentucky Fried Chicken once offered to sponsor him. Behind the ritual was one of the most technically refined hitting approaches in the game: Boggs took enormous numbers of batting practice swings, studied pitchers obsessively, and applied a patience at the plate that produced walk rates and batting averages that no other player of the 1980s approached. Twelve All-Star selections and five Gold Glove Awards at third base completed the package. The grey Red Sox road jersey is the artifact of the Boston chapter.
