This card brings back memories of the Wade Boggs/Margo Adams affair in the late 1980's. I remember Adams quoting Boggs to the media on several players, including George Bell.

According to Adams, Bogg said, ''When they go into Toronto, they have a thing for George Bell, a favorite among Red Sox pitchers. They all hate his guts. He's the most hated man in baseball.''
