Bob Boone

Robert Raymond Boone, born November 19, 1947, in San Diego, California, was a catcher and manager in Major League Baseball. After attending Stanford University, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the sixth round of the 1969 amateur draft and reached the majors in late 1972. Known for his defense behind the plate — committing just eight errors and allowing three passed balls in 1977 — Boone earned three National League All-Star selections as a Phillie and was part of the 1980 World Series championship team. He was traded to the California Angels after the 1981 season. His father, Ray Boone, and sons Bret and Aaron Boone all reached the major leagues, with all four named All-Stars during their careers.
