From Pastor Rich comes 1985 Wade Boggs. I posted Boggs’ 1986 card before but this one is slightly better, I think.
In ‘85, Boggs hit .368 in 161 games with 42 doubles. He was the batting champ that year and led in OBP as well. He had an incredible 240 hits.

| 1985 Totals | 161 | 758 | 653 | 107 | 240 | 42 | 3 | 8 | 78 | 2 | 96 | 61 | .368 | .450 | .478 |
Compared to Boggs’ 1986 card, what makes this one stick out is the 25-7. He loses the three 31s but does have a nifty 24-14.
On top of the thirteen hit numbers and five 14s, Boggs has a nice 3B-5 rating.
Fun numbers: 25-7, 24-14, 62-9
Wade Boggs is from Omaha, Nebraska which is home to the College World Series. I hope my Illini baseball team will be going there soon since they just clinched the Champaign Regional today. I know, nice segue.
thanks, Rich!
Wow that’s a great card, but I did not play that season so I would have lost my mind over a 42-12 result. What a horrible location.
