His son Bret Boone announced the death Tuesday on social media, and no cause was given.\n\n\"He was a man of great integrity. He was a great dad, husband, and patriarch. It was a privilege to call him my father. Baseball lost a great one today,\" Bret Boone wrote.\n\nBoone spent his first 10 seasons with the Phillies before playing seven years with the California Angels and two with the Kansas City Royals. He won seven Gold Gloves during his playing career and later managed both the Royals and the Cincinnati Reds.\n\nBoone was part of baseball's first three-generation family. His father, Ray Boone, played 13 major league seasons and was a two-time All-Star with the Detroit Tigers. Bob's own sons carried the family name forward in the majors as well, with Aaron Boone going on to a long career of his own.","published_at":"2026-11-10T18:34:37.715460+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bob Boone: World Series-winning Phillies catcher dies aged 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bob-boone-world-series-winning-160246028.html"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Phillies' World Series Champion, Angels Alum Bob Boone Dies","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/bob-boone-dies-stats-phillies-world-series-angels-royals-reds"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Bob Boone, sturdy catcher who linked generations of All-Stars, dies at 78","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7504309/2026/11/10/bob-boone-dead-phillies/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Phillies World Series champion, father of Yankees’ Aaron Boone, dies at 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/phillies-world-series-champion-father-080359288.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Phillies World Series Champion Backstop, 7-Time Gold Glover Bob Boone Dies After Legendary Career","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/phillies-world-series-champion-backstop-133212186.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Former Royals catcher and manager Bob Boone dies at age 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/former-royals-catcher-manager-bob-141100395.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bob Boone, four-time MLB All-Star and father to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, dies at 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/bob-boone-four-time-mlb-all-star-and-father-to-yankees-manager-aaron-boone-dies-at-78-140707438.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bob Boone, 3-time All-Star and father of Yankees manager Aaron Boone, dies at 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bob-boone-3-time-star-144901681.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bob Boone has passed away at age 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bob-boone-passed-away-age-145824447.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bob Boone, World Series champ, Phillies Wall of Famer dies at 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bob-boone-world-series-champ-100200777.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Legendary Phillies catcher Bob Boone passes away at age 78","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/legendary-phillies-catcher-bob-boone-152427665.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bob Boone, World Series champion and part of 3-generation baseball family, has died.
