Favorite Team?

It seems that the favorite team comment in the Tampa Bay Section comes without any real source. Due to this being an opinion, can anyone provide a quote of when he said this. I think I may have heard him say this myself but I think that this needs a citation.

Invisible

Is the turning invisible thing really true?

Sure

Well, there's pages and pages of it here:

It was a big deal. It ruined that spring training, caused turmoil within his team, and trailed him the rest of his career.

Superstitions

About half of the Superstitions section has nothing to do with superstitions. Someone should reorganize it. --Andland 21:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not only did Wade Boggs eat only chicken, during the season he had a 14 day chicken menu schedule that included "Lemon Chicken" twice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.124.204.66 (talk • contribs)

Dates

Shouldn't this article (and similar ones) have information on when he belonged to which teams? For example, the only mention of his stint in the PawSox is when the Longest Game is mentioned.

Margo Adams Scandal?

Boggs was my favorite player growing up, but I don't think he was the same--as a player or as a fan favorite--after the Margo Adams scandal. Without being tabloid-like (and keeping in mind this is a biography of a living person), could something about the Adams story be said here?71.207.134.48 15:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your assessment and therefore added a brief synopsis. Tardevil (talk) 02:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving

I set up archiving on this talk page due to some very outdated comments. jj137 (talk) 00:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Shoot from the hip"

Removing the sentence Boggs is known for coining the term "Shoot from the hip." as a Google search reveals no such thing. SixFourThree (talk) 21:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]
