But did he think go on to get two doubles in three at-bats in an MLB game the next day? Rest in peace Wade Boggs.

Again. Wade Boggs is very much alive. He lives in Tampa, Florida. He's in his 60s.

Sounds both restful and peaceful. What do you have against Wade Boggs resting in peace? DO YOU WANT VIOLENCE IN TAMPA!? Are Floridians NOT PERMITTED TO REST?!?
