Baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs says he’s ‘cancer free’

Baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs announced some good news on Friday, with the former Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Tampa Bay Devil Rays star confirming he’s ‘cancer free.’

Boggs, 66, said in September 2024 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but at the time struck a defiant note. ‘I’ve never been a goal oriented person but with the strength and support of my family and my faith in God I’m going to ring that damn bell,’ Boggs wrote in a post on social media.

That proved true, with one of Major League Baseball’s all-time great third basemen saying he’s now cancer-free after a course of treatment. Thanking his doctors, Boggs posted the welcome update to his account on X.

‘An extremely emotional day,’ Boggs wrote. ‘I can’t thank my doctor’s Dr. Engleman and Dr. Heidenberg enough also to everyone for your thoughts and prayers Debbie and I are pleased to announce I am cancer free.’

In a standout 17-year career, Boggs put up some stellar numbers. His 3,010 hits make him one of just 33 players in MLB history in the 3,000-hit club. Boggs — a career .328 hitter — posted 1,014 RBIs and 1,513 runs in his career, along with 118 home runs.

The 12-time MLB All-Star exceled on both sides of the ball, winning the American League Golden Glove Award in 1994 and 1995 while also winning the AL batting title five times.
