Man, let me tell you about this wild ride I went on trying to dig up dirt on this whole Margo Adams and Wade Boggs thing. It’s a story that’s been around for ages, but I wanted to piece it all together myself, you know, get the full picture from start to finish.
So, I started by hitting up all the usual spots online, trying to find articles, interviews, anything I could get my hands on about these two. And let me tell you, there’s a lot out there. This thing was huge back in the day. I spent hours just reading through old news stories and trying to separate fact from fiction.
The Affair Begins
- Found out that Margo Adams was this lady who had a four-year affair with Wade Boggs, who was a big-shot baseball player for the Boston Red Sox.
- Apparently, this wasn’t just a fling. These two were traveling together, and she was even wearing the same red panties for days because Boggs was superstitious and believed it helped him to hit better.
Things Get Messy
- Discovered that things got really messy when Boggs tried to end the affair. He got his agent involved, but Adams wasn’t having it.
- She threatened to make his life a “living hell,” according to an interview Boggs did with Barbara Walters. I watched some old clips of this interview, and man, it was intense.
- Adams went on Arsenio Hall’s show and was introduced as “the most notorious woman in America.” That’s when things really blew up.
Accusations and Fallout
- Read an article where Adams accused Boggs of making a racist remark about his teammate, Jim Rice. This added a whole other layer to the scandal.
- Boggs later described himself as a “sex addict” in the midst of all this. It was just one thing after another.
- They eventually reached some sort of settlement, but the damage was done. It really affected Boggs’ career and reputation.
Boggs’ Career
- Learned that despite all this drama, Boggs was an incredible baseball player. He was a 12-time All-Star and ended his career with some amazing stats.
- He even signed with the New York Yankees in ’92 for a whopping $11 million, making another history.
- In 1997, he ranked number 95 on the Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players.
- Read that he’s a graduate of Plant High School in Tampa, Florida.
After piecing all this together, it’s clear that this Margo Adams and Wade Boggs saga was a major scandal that had a huge impact. It’s a reminder that even the biggest stars can get caught up in some crazy stuff. And man, the ’80s were a wild time, huh?
