Boone is best remembered for his game winning home run off of Boston’s Tim Wakefield in the 11th inning of Game 7 of the 2003 AL Championship Series.

“I’ve always been breaking down games and analyzing and watching and paying attention, you know, calling games in my hotel room by myself,” he said. “I’ve been asked a lot over the years would I want to manage or coach. I would never say never because who knows where you are down the road? But I never pictured myself going into that role. I always pictured myself doing this.”

Boone, 36, is a career .263 hitter with 126 home runs and 555 RBIs. You can see Boone’s contract history and statistics here.
