A look back at Bob Boone

There are two Bob Boones. The first is Bob Boone the player, baseball royalty, descendant of Daniel Boone, son of Ray Boone, a 26 WAR, two-time All-Star third baseman who played for six teams in a 13-year career, including one year for the Kansas City Athletics. Bob Boone is also father to Bret Boone and Aaron Boone who played primarily for the Mariners and Reds, respectively. They’re one of four families to have three generations of major league players and between the four of them, have 58 years of major league service time. That’s a lot of games, 6,569 to be exact.
