The Phillies are saddened to learn of the passing of former catcher and Wall of Famer Bob Boone yesterday. He was 78.
Bob was an incredible player, teammate and family man. He embodied everything we believe exemplary athletes should represent, both on and off the field. We were proud to have him as part of the Phillies family during one of the most historic runs in team history. His impact on our organization, his teammates, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him will never be forgotten.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Bob’s beloved wife Sue, his sons Bret, Aaron and Matt, his extended family and friends and former teammates at this difficult time.

We are saddened to share the news that Jerry Koosman has passed away. We send our thoughts and prayers to his family.
The experimental “check swing” challenge in the Arizona Fall League last year that magically disappeared. Would it have changed that final Game 2 at bat?

#OTD 1985 - Vince Coleman becomes entangled in Busch Stadium's automatic tarpaulin while stretching before Game 4 of the NLCS.
The freak accident, which traps his left leg for about thirty seconds, will end the season for the 23-year-old rookie - and change the trajectory of the teams playoff run.

On this date in 1960, Bill Mazeroski’s name went down in history.
His legendary blast in Game 7 of the World Series marked the first time a Fall Classic ended on a walk-off home run. ow.ly/UR0q50ZXfty

75 years ago today, Bobby Thomson hit what might be the most famous home run in baseball history.
In August 1951, the New York Giants trailed the Brooklyn Dodgers by 13 games in the National League standings. Over the final seven weeks of the season, the Giants roared back by going 37-7 to tie the Dodgers for first place and force a three-game playoff for a trip to the World Series.
The Giants won the first game 3-1, with Thomson hitting a two-run home run off Dodgers starter Ralph Branca.
The Dodgers blew out the Giants 10-0 in the second game.
The deciding third game was played on Oct. 3, 1951. It featured seven Hall of Famers, including Jackie Robinson and Wilie Mays.
Bottom of the ninth, two men on and one out, Branca was brought in from the bullpen to again face Thomson.
Thomson hit a walk-off three-run homer that came to be known as “The Shot Heard ‘Round The World.”
Sound up for Russ Hodges and the most famous call in baseball broadcasting history.
