Red Sox Stud from 1974–>1989

-Was part of the All Red Sox OF in the 1979 ASG along Fred Lynn & Carl Yastremski

-When he received the phone call about being elected into the baseball HoF he was watching the soap opera The Young & the Restless 😂

-In the minors he was known as Jim “Ed” Rice because of his middle name Edward.

-In 1982 ran out of the dugout to carry a child to the Red Sox medical office after the child was hit by a line drive foul ball.

Love the picture used on this card.

I got this card autographed back in 1987 during batting practice at Fenway Park. Boggs use to sign before every game near the Red Sox on deck circle for about 5 minutes. I tried numerous times to get his autograph but wasn’t able to get it until this one time. It was great.

Here’s a card of my all time favorite CF. One of the greatest defensive outfielders ever. He was my hero growing up. And he could hit too. It’s too bad the Red Sox traded him. That trade along with Fisk leaving broke my heart
