Bob Boone, the durable catcher who anchored the 1980 Philadelphia Phillies World Series championship team and served as the middle link in Major League Baseball’s first three-generation family, has passed away at 78.
Boone’s career stretched across nearly two decades as a player, followed by managerial stints and a long run in the Nationals’ front office.
