Wade Boggs a candid conversation with the best hitter in baseball about connecting with the ball, eating good-luck chicken and the jinx of the boston red sox
"Line-drive hitters don't hit home runs. Home-run hitters are your pop-up and
flyball hitters. Wade Boggs does not hit fly balls and does not pop up. I
popped up five times--in more than 1200 at-bats."
"I got to the point of paranoia when I couldn't find any chicken to eat before
a game. Now I know all the restaurants in America League cities that serve
excellent chicken, and those are the places I frequent."
"Unlike most players, I prefer to play at night. When my pupils dilate, they
produce a bigger image on my retina, which allows me to see the pitches
better. It means a difference of about 40 points in my batting average."
