Wade Boggs' ex-flame once revealed details of her fling with the All-Star: "I was a helpmate, a traveling companion, a lover, a girlfriend" 

In March 1989, Wade Boggs' ex-flame, Margo Adams, revealed scandalous details of her extramarital relationship with the Boston Red Sox legend. This came after Adams made headlines in 1988 when she filed a $12 million lawsuit against Boggs after discovering Boggs was dating other women through Red Sox players.

Referring to her rendezvous with Boggs, she opened up to the Washington Post by saying:

"I was a helpmate, a traveling companion, a lover, a girlfriend."

Former mortgage banker Margo Adams also described how she resigned from her job to accompany Wade on 64 road trips since the 1984 MLB season. Boggs reportedly paid her between $60,000 and $100,000 a year to escort him.

All this happened while Debbie Bertucelli, Boggs' wife, and their two children, Brett and Meagann, were completely unaware of the 12x All-Star's infidelity.

After Adams filed a suit against Boggs in June 1988 (seeking an eye-popping amount to compensate her for her lost wages during 1984-1987), the Boston Red Sox star denied the relationship.

He also requested that the FBI look into what he claimed to be an extortion attempt. The lawsuit was lowered to $500,000 in the first part of 1988 after a Californian court decided that Adams was not permitted to sue Boggs for mental anguish.

Following his lawsuit's partial success, Boggs remarked:

"One thing has to be put in perspective. I did not commit a crime. It's not like I did drugs, or shot someone, or ended up in prison. You know, there are a lot of red-blooded American males out there."

After more than a year of court battles, Boggs and Adams finally struck a settlement with an undisclosed sum. The agreement was reached in front of an Orange County Superior Court judge in December 1989.
