Bob Boone, a catcher who helped the Philadelphia Phillies win their first World Series title, died at age 78, his son Bret announced on social media on Tuesday. No cause of death was announced. Boone spent his first 10 seasons with the Phillies, then played seven with the California Angels and two with the Kansas City Royals, and won seven Gold Gloves, the first by a Phillies catcher. He caught the final out of the 1980 World Series clincher against the Royals, and in 2005 he was added to the Phillies' Wall of Fame. He also managed the Royals and Cincinnati Reds, and later joined the Washington Nationals' front office. His father Ray played 13 major league seasons, and his sons Aaron and Bret both had long careers, making the Boones one of baseball's most historic families, as MLB described them. Aaron Boone now manages the New York Yankees, and the Phillies, Yankees, Royals and Angels all issued tributes.
