Wade Boggs: The Man, The Myth, The Moustache

There is a legend that exists that makes me truly believe in the existence of true heroes.  Wade Anthony Boggs was born in 1958, little beknownst to his parents they gave birth to a truly great American hero.  Wade Boggs grew up to become a fine major league baseball player through his years with such teams as the Yankees, Red Sox, and Devil Rays.  He constantly hit for a great average over the course of his career, and reached the milestone of 3,000 hits, but those great stats could not even approach his finest accomplishment.

Story goes, on one cross-country flight, Boggs drank 64 Miller Lite beverages... 64... Most parties don't even go through 60 beers.  In an interview on ESPN Boggs was asked of this number and much to the chagrin of envious beer drinkers across the country did not deny that astonishing statistic.  He did not go into detail on the matter because, well, he was a serious athlete or something.  Former teammates of Boggs including Paul Sorrento have agreed with such claims of Boggs' epic drinking ability. 

So Wade Boggs, for giving me hope in this life that one can reach such goals if they truly try hard enough, and drink enough... This Boggs Lite is for you!
