Bob Boone, the longtime Angels catcher and four-time All-Star, has died at 78, his son Bret Boone announced.
Boone won seven Gold Glove Awards and a World Series championship, and he belonged to Major League Baseball's first three-generation family of All-Stars: his father and both of his sons also made All-Star teams.
In announcing his death, Bret Boone called his father his mentor and his rock, Fox News reports.
Few families have meant more to the game. Our prayers are with the Boone family.
