One of the greatest players in Boston Red Sox history is fighting for justice in his newest venture.
Wade Boggs is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, 12-time All-Star, eight-time Silver Slugger and two-time Gold Glove winner with five batting titles and 3,010 career hits.
With all of those accomplishments in mind, Boggs still has one more thing he would like recognition for, being the inspiration for Cool Blue.
Cool Blue is Pabst Blue Ribbon's mascot with a striking resemblance to the all-time great slugger. Boggs has decided to go public with his claims, dropping a video exposé, and demanding beer justice for baseball fans and beer drinkers across the country.
“Pabst Blue Ribbon owes me, and fans across the nation, the truth, Boggs is Blue,” Boggs said. “I’m after justice, and nothing tastes better with it than an ice-cold PBR. This is why I’m calling on Pabst to meet my demands, admit the truth, and serve up some beers in Cool Blue's honor to fans everywhere.”
Here is the list of Boggs' aforementioned demands:
1) Admit the truth that Boggs is Cool Blue!
2) Give fans a few Pabst Blue Ribbons on Boggs
3) Name a brewery after Boggs
4) Put Boggs on bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon
5) Publish Boggs’ favorite Chicken recipe
6) Make Boggs the official spokesperson for Pabst Blue Ribbon
Boggs has launched a website to host his exposé and his demands. Pabst Blue Ribbon has yet to publicly respond to Boggs.
