Wade Boggs Autographed 1996 WS Celebration 16x20 Photograph
Wade Boggs proved he was one of baseball's most consistent hitters. Boggs posted seven consecutive 200-plus hit seasons from 1983 through 1989. In 14 of his 15 Major League seasons, he hit over .300 and captured the A.L. Batting Champion crown six times. Boggs didn't want to become known as a one-dimensional offensive player, so he took it upon himself to improve his defensive skills. His extra work paid off when he earned 11 consecutive All-Star Game starts, setting a record for American League third basemen (1986-1996). He also led A.L. third basemen in fielding percentage in 1993 (.970) and in 1995 (.981). Although his fielding was superb, Boggs will always be remembered for his hitting. Wade Boggs connected on his 3,000 hit with a home run against Cleveland on August 7, 1999. His only World Championship was with the Yankees in 1996. Wade Boggs hand signed this famous shot of him riding on the back of a New York City Police horse around Yankee Stadium moments after the Yankees won their first World Series in 18 years in 1996. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
