УI asked him how in the hell he hit that pitch,Ф Eddie Guardado said. УAnd he said, СSometimes Boone hits those pitches.ТФ

2/18/8: Bret (88), Bob Boone (66-67-68) Bret joins Bob in Washington "He went to spring training in 2006 with the New York Mets but called it quits before playing in an exhibition game. Looking back Monday, he said: "I was in no position mentally to continue on at that point. I needed to walk away." Bob and Bret talked about it two years ago. "He said, 'Dad, you won't understand.' I said, '[You're] right, I won't understand. I mean, who cares how you feel? This is baseball,'" the elder Boone recalled."
3/3/6: Former Mariners mates laud Bret Boone "Closer Eddie Guardado, the former Twin, got a laugh out of remembering a game when Boone swung at one of GuardadoТs filthiest split-fingered fastballs and practically picked it clean off the Metrodome turf for an impossible double.

2004 Alaska Goldpanners Team Set

11/2/4: Wins Golden Glove Award
10/19/4: Pondering Bret Boone
10/18/4: Ray Boone Has Died at 81 - Two-time All-Star Ray Boone, patriarch of a three-generation baseball family, died early Sunday following a long illness. He was 81.
10/3/4: Boone on Bonds: Something Special "You're a star if you're on base .400," Boone said. "How about .600? You have a great, tremendous eye if you walk 100 times. Let me double that, and add another 25. It's numbers we've never seen. If you start breaking Babe Ruth's numbers, you're doing something pretty special. No one's ever walked the earth that can hit like that man." Bonds will blow away his own major-league record for highest on-base percentage (.582 in 2002). In fact, Bonds will now possess four of the top 11 seasons for OBP Ч his last four seasons, almost inarguably the best four-year stretch in baseball history."
4/12/4: Homers in 10th to give Seattle first win
3/21/4: Looking for another big season "With all but one of his 221 career homers coming as a second baseman, he ranks ninth among second basemen in major league history in homers. Ryne Sandberg is first with 277."
3/4/4: Assumes role of strange leader

2003 PRESSBOX

12/8/3: Mariner's Roster Remake - Seattle "If no name like Houston's Geoff Blum pops out at them there, the M's could see if kids Justin Leone and/or Greg Dobbs (00) look ready in camp, which is not likely, although both are well-regarded."

11/5/3: Wins 2003 Golden Glove
10/29/3: Joins Bonds as Silver Slugger

3/28: A Man and His Glove? - "The book recalls Bret Boone's panic when the Mariners second baseman mistakenly tossed his glove to a fan while signing autographs at Safeco Field in 2001. The fan left the ballpark before Boone realized he had the fan's glove and the fan had his."
