Wade Boggs Hall of Fame Induction speech - 2005

Wade Boggs' Hall of Fame induction speech from 2005 in Cooperstown. Wade Boggs was a virtuoso with a bat and one of the game's true masters at striking a baseball between the foul lines. Utilizing great bat control and a good eye, Boggs won five batting titles, strung together seven consecutive seasons of 200 or more hits and earned 100 walks in four straight seasons. With his knack for getting on base, Boggs often batted leadoff and scored at least 100 runs every season from 1983-89. A member of the 3,000-hit club despite not getting a chance to play in the big leagues regularly until he was nearly 25, Boggs retired with a lofty .328 batting average.
