Boggs, Johnnie Walker fight drunk driving

Boggstopps I happened to flip on the YES network last night and caught a few innings of Game 6 of the 1996 World Series between the Yankees and the Braves. It was great to see Wade Boggs, getting on toward the twighlight of a grand career, finally winning a World Series. Flash forward 10 years, and what is Wade Boggs doing today, as the Yankees celebrate their home opener? He’ll be standing near the steps to the 4 train on 161st Street, handing out Johnnie Walker “Keep walking” MetroCards. It’s for a good cause (to fight drunk driving), and Boggs is a good egg for braving the crush of Yankee fans outside the stadium. (Isn’t he wearing a Red Sox uniform in the Hame of Fame?) As part of this initiative, Johnnie Walker will donate $100 to Recording Artists, Actors, and Athletes Against Drunk Driving (RADD) every time a Yankee player draws a walk at Yankee Stadium this season.

Did you all know that Wade is an expert and aficionado of cunnilingus?

It's the truth. Look it up.

Aren't you thinking of Orel Hershiser?
