Wade Boggs is certainly putting many to shame.
The baseball legend recently took to social media, sharing a shirtless photo of himself enjoying a day out fishing, showing off an impressively toned physique.
Just earlier this May, Boggs announced he’s been in the clear from cancer for two years, following a diagnosis of prostate cancer in September 2024.
This revelation left sports fans in awe, further heightened when seeing Boggs’ athletic build, including praise from fellow Hall of Famer and three-time Cy Young Award recipient, Jim Palmer.
Palmer commented on X, “100 walks, 200 hits or more for 7 straight years and yet the Red Sox labeled you as just a singles hitter… if that’s how you looked during your career, the front office wouldn’t have had any complaints. Hope you’re doing well.”
“Wade Boggs will drink your beer, eat your chicken, land your fish & kick your ass all before dinner time,” an X user wrote.
“I gotta be honest here. I did not expect Wade Boggs to show up on my timeline looking like an absolute unit today,” another said.
“Some good pasture raised chickens Wade,” a third said.
“I guess I’ll skip the blueberry muffin I bought for breakfast today,” someone else chimed in.
“Prob should have hit a few more homers bro. Haha,” another wrote.
An X user even asked AI chat bot Grok if the image was real.
The account responded: “Modern AI images can be virtually indistinguishable from real ones, so definitive calls from visuals alone are tough. This was posted by Wade Boggs’ official account and matches his recent look. Looking that jacked at 68 after beating cancer is amazing.”
The 67-year-old revealed his cancer update while in Boston at Fenway Park, where he played for 11 seasons, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Red Sox’s first home game.
His last treatment was on Nov. 3, 2024.
“I had my checkup a month ago, and I’m completely cancer-free,” he said, per NPR.
“I’m a cancer survivor now. Prostate cancer is null and void. Thank God,” Boggs said after throwing out a first pitch before the Rays-Red Sox game.
Boggs was drafted by the Red Sox in 1976 out of Plant High School in Tampa, Fl.
After his years in Boston where he earned eight All-Star nods, he went on to play five years for the Yankees and was a crucial member of the 1996 World Series team that upset the Braves.
Boggs played his final two years with the Rays where he earned his 3,000th hit before retiring at 41 in 1999.
His jersey has been retired by both the Red Sox and Rays.
