Aaron followed his brother to the majors in 1997. And some people around the game saw it coming.

During a 1981 playoff broadcast, with 12-year-old Bret and 8-year-old Aaron shagging balls with their dad’s team, NBC’sDick Enbergsaid, “There’s never been three generations to make it to the major leagues, but they say the Boones might well be the first.” Bob’s own career was LEGIT. The San Diego native and Stanford grad was a sixth-round pick by the Phillies in 1969, switched from third base to catcher in the minors, and went on to make four All-Star teams and win seven Gold Gloves across 19 seasons with Philly, the California Angels and the Kansas City Royals.
