He was, but the HOF pretty much put a stop to it and told him that he couldn't go in as a D-Ray. I am not sure if it got resolved that they would decide what uniform he wears or if he'd get to choose between the Yankees and the Red Sox.

If I were Boggs, that would be a tough choice. The balance of his career was with the Red Sox, but they abandoned him and he moved over to the Yankees, where he won his only World Series.

In any event, congrats to the of them. Goose and Sutter should both get their day in Cooperstown in the next few years. They both deserve it.
