Our condolences to the Boone family. Despite being a Stanford Hall of Famer, Bob trusted us with two of his three sons, Bret and Aaron, and most definitely was an honorary member of the Trojan Family. He will be dearly missed. #FightOnForever
We are saddened by the passing of Bob Boone, part of one of baseball’s most historic families.
Along with his father Ray, and his sons Bret and Aaron, the Boones became the first family to field three generations of Major League players, all of them All-Stars.
Bob, a catcher who came up in 1972, played 19 Major League seasons with the Phillies, Angels, and Royals. When he retired after the 1990 season, he had caught 2,225 games, the most in MLB history at that time.
A four-time All-Star, Boone was an elite defender, winning 7 Gold Gloves. He won his last in 1989 at age 41 and remains the oldest position player to win a Gold Glove.
Boone’s leadership behind the plate helped his teams reach the Postseason seven times from 1976-86. In the 1980 World Series, he batted .412 with 4 RBIs to help the Phillies win their first championship in franchise history.
Boone later managed six seasons with the Royals and Reds before spending more than a decade as a front office executive with the Washington Nationals, a run that included their first World Series title in 2019.
He was 78.
