Boggs reportedly had hit for high average in all of the minor leagues where he played. Two items of interest from the Boston press: he is an assiduous student of Ted Williams' book "The Art of Hitting", and he eats only chicken on the days of games. Seems he had chicken one night in the minors, and went 5-for-5, then 4-for-5 when he tried it again. He wife is claimed to have over 30 recipes for chicken. Has anyone noticed that he is leading the league in doubles? This from a hitter who doesn't hit with much power (only one homerun this year). I think he gets a lot of line drives down the line for these hits. Carl Eichenlaub Cornell University
