When you enter a celebrity fishing tournament, you expect three things: 1) Beer, 2) More beer, and 3) Fair results.It's not clear whether or not Wade Boggs received the first two, but he was definitely shafted on the last one.
While participating in an event in Key West, Boggs apparently caught two fish on a spin reel, while former Broncos offensive lineman Mark Cooper caught one on a fly. The point totals for both men were equal, so Gary Ellis erroneously awarded the title to Cooper, since he caught his fish first.
Boggs' reaction? Well, you might think Margot Adams tried to steal his pre-game chicken.
At the awards ceremony at the Westin Key West, when hearing the news, Boggs was quoted as saying, “I caught two fish and you caught one and you win?” He then grabbed the trophy and ran out of the room.
Real mature. Next thing you know Boggs is going to say that William Pitt the Elder is better than Lord Palmerston.

I had the same reaction when I wasn't awarded the "Black Liver" award during Spring Break '86.
