1977 Topps #545 Bob Boone
About Bob Boone
Boone's 1976, his first All-Star year, is the season behind card #545: he hit .271 with four home runs and 54 RBI and was The Sporting News choice at catcher. In the NLCS he had two hits in seven at-bats as Cincinnati swept the Phillies. He played 121 games that season, 108 of them at catcher and four at first base.
Bob Boone was a catcher for 19 seasons, 1972 to 1990, with the Phillies, Angels and Royals, and later managed the Royals and the Reds. A Stanford product drafted by Philadelphia in the sixth round in 1969, he was a four-time All-Star (1976, 1978, 1979, 1983) and won seven Gold Gloves. He was a defense-first catcher who committed eight errors and allowed three passed balls in 1977. He helped Philadelphia win the 1980 World Series, caught Mike Witt's perfect game for the Angels on September 30, 1984, and caught 2,225 games, a record at the time. He threw out Rickey Henderson 15 of 26 times. He retired at 42 after a broken finger in 1990 with 1,838 hits, 105 home runs and a .254 average. His father Ray Boone and sons Bret and Aaron Boone were all major leaguers and All-Stars, and he was inducted into the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 2005.
