Hand-painted collectible baseball card There are legendary tales of Wade Boggs' ability to consume mass amounts Miller Lite. The legend was born when former teammate Jeff Nelson claimed Boggs could easily drink 50-60 beers on a cross country flight. Another teammate, Brian Rose describes sitting next to Boggs on a flight: “I was sitting next to him on a plane and a flight attendant came by and gave him a case of beer,” said Rose. “He slid it under the seat and I was like, ‘What’s up with that? We only have an hour flight.’ He said, ‘That’s mine.’ Rose continued “The whole flight, we were just shooting the shit, and he went one beer after the other. I said to him, ‘I’m impressed with the way you hit, but I’m more impressed right now.’ He goes, ‘Yeah, beer doesn’t affect me. I don’t get drunk unless I’ve had at least a case and a half.’ I don’t think he even went to the bathroom.”
