Wade Boggs, a celebrated member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, shared some uplifting news on Friday. The former star of the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Tampa Bay Devil Rays announced that he is now “cancer free.”

At 66 years old, Boggs revealed in September 2024 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer but maintained a determined attitude. “I’ve never been one to set goals, but with the unwavering support of my family and my faith in God, I’m going to ring that damn bell,” he expressed in a social media post at the time.

His statement proved to be accurate, as the legendary third baseman shared that he has overcome his cancer following treatment. He took to his X account to extend his gratitude to his medical team.

“Today is incredibly emotional,” Boggs shared. “I cannot thank my doctors, Dr. Engleman and Dr. Heidenberg, enough. Also, I am grateful for everyone’s thoughts and prayers. Debbie and I are thrilled to announce that I am cancer free.”

Over his remarkable 17-year career, Boggs achieved impressive statistics. His 3,010 hits place him among just 33 players in MLB history who have reached the 3,000-hit milestone. With an impressive career batting average of .328, he recorded 1,014 RBIs and 1,513 runs, along with hitting 118 home runs.

A 12-time MLB All-Star, Boggs excelled defensively as well, claiming the American League Golden Glove Award in 1994 and 1995 while also securing the AL batting title five times.
