Wade Boggs is cancer free.
The Hall of Fame third baseman made the announcement on social media Friday, five months after he revealed that he had prostate cancer.
"An extremely emotional day I can't thank my doctor's Dr. Engleman and Dr. Heidenberg enough also to everyone for your thoughts and prayers Debbie and I are pleased to announce I am cancer free," Boggs wrote.
