Hall of Famer Wade Boggs Says He’s Cancer-Free After Two-Year Battle with Prostate Cancer

On Friday, Red Sox legends Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, Jim Rice, and Wade Boggs gathered at Fenway Park to commemorate the club's 125th anniversary, celebrating the first home game of the Boston Americans.
Hall of Famer Wade Boggs announced at Fenway Park that he remains cancer-free after a recent battle with prostate cancer, having originally revealed his diagnosis in September 2024 and undergoing radiation and hormone therapy.
Encouraging young men to get PSA tests, Boggs noted his own levels were 3.3, below the typical concern threshold of 4. The former All-Star finished his career with 3,010 hits and 1,014 RBIs over 11 seasons in Boston.
Absent from the festivities was former catcher Jason Varitek, who was fired last month following the team's 10-17 start. Martinez noted he has caught up with former manager Alex Cora but has not yet spoken with Varitek.
Despite the difficult start, Martinez believes the future remains bright for the organization. "The city of Boston is known to be strong and to come back with a vengeance," the pitcher said, emphasizing the team's resilience.
