My dad- He was my mentor, my coach, my rock. He taught me how to be a pro and more importantly, how to be a man. He was one of the highest integrity people I’ve ever known and I’m going to miss him dearly. Baseball lost a great one yesterday. R.I.P dad, I love you❤️
The Phillies are saddened to learn of the passing of former catcher and Wall of Famer Bob Boone yesterday. He was 78.
Bob was an incredible player, teammate and family man. He embodied everything we believe exemplary athletes should represent, both on and off the field. We were proud to have him as part of the Phillies family during one of the most historic runs in team history. His impact on our organization, his teammates, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him will never be forgotten.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Bob’s beloved wife Sue, his sons Bret, Aaron and Matt, his extended family and friends and former teammates at this difficult time.
Today marks the 51th anniversary of the tragic lost of the #EdmundFitzgerald. The ship departed Superior, WI on Nov 9, 1975 bound for Detroit but sank near Whitefish Point, MI on Nov 10th during a powerful storm over the #GreatLakes. All 29 crew were lost. https://t.co/so62gOxR68
My deep prayers and condolences to the family of Bob Boone, Bret, Aaron and the rest.. I grew up watching Bob with the great @Phillies teams of the 70’s.. His play and mastery of catching inspired me to want to play the position..God Bless..
