Wade Boggs was a virtuoso with his bat, and one of the game's true masters at striking a baseball between the foul lines, which he did at an alarmingly successful rate. Utilizing great bat control and a good eye, Boggs won five batting titles, strung together seven consecutive seasons of 200 or more hits, and earned 100 walks in four straight seasons. On the left front tail is the "Russell Athletic Diamond Collection" manufacturer's label with size "46." Attached is a white flag tag with material "100% Polyester," beneath which is a white flag tag with "2" extra body length." Adjacent is a white faded patch with "BOGGS-97." On the left breast is the "NY" interlocking logo done in blue tackle twill. On the back is the player number "12" done in blue tackle twill. On the right sleeve is the "Jackie Robinson 50th Anniversary" patch. The jersey is autographed on front in black marker and rates an 8. The jersey shows game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
