Legend says that Boggs once downed 73 beers on a single flight.
The story comes from Boggs himself.
He sat down on Bert Kreischer’s podcast, Bertcast, where he told the story.
“We’re leaving Boston, Sunday day game and we’re leaving Boston and we’re flying to LA,” Boggs said.
“So you pack some roadies to the airport and you got them in your case. Depending on traffic you don’t want to leave yourself short.
“So you get on the plane and I was playing blackjack with some other players and was taking a couple sips.
“I’ll take another one, I’m dealing, take a couple sips, take another one.
“I was two-sipping beers and we’re probably over Nebraska or somewhere like that and the card game is going well, and one of the players looks at me and goes, ‘Boggsy, you realize you had like 51 beers.’
“I go, ‘Really didn’t seem like it.’ Okay all right cool, he says we’ve still got another hour to go.
“I said well let’s see how many we can get then. The final tally was 73.”
The story doesn’t end after 73 beers on the plane though. The tally kept rising.
“We get off the plane and five or six of us decided to go down to the Red Onion down in Laguna Beach.
“I wound up having a total of 107. That was the final total for the day.
“The next day we’re facing Mark Langston and I wound up going two for three with two walks and two doubles off of Langston.”
Not even 107 beers could stop Boggs from stepping up to the plate and performing the next day though.
He went 2-for-3 with two doubles the day after his crazy night.
Boggs was a legendary hitting, having a career .328 average with over 3,000 hits.
He was a 12-time All Star, two-time Gold Glover, eight-time Silver Slugger, and five-time batting champ.
Boggs won a single World Series in 1996 with the New York Yankees.
