NEW YORK (WFAN) — Ever heard the story about how Wade Boggs wanted to go into the Hall of Fame as a Tampa Bay Devil Ray because the team’s owner offered him $1 million?
It’s a myth, Boggs told WFAN’s Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on Friday.
“This was never, ever a subject,” the Hall of Fame third baseman said.
So how did the rumor get started?
“I think it came from when Jose Canseco said, ‘If I get in the Hall of Fame, I’m going in as a Devil Ray,'” Boggs said.
