Ike Boone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isaac Morgan Boone (February 17, 1897 - August 1, 1958) was a right fielder in Major League Baseball. Boone batted left handed and threw right handed. He was born in Samantha, Alabama. His older brother, Dan, also played in the major leagues from 1919-23.

Boone reached the majors in 1922 with the New York Giants, spending one year with them before moving to the Boston Red Sox (1923-25), Chicago White Sox (1927) and Brooklyn Dodgers (1930-32). His most productive season came in 1925 with Boston, when he posted career-highs in batting average (.337), home runs (13), RBI (98), hits (157), runs (79), doubles (34), triples (5), and games played (133). In 1924 and 1925 he was considered for the MVP Award. In an eight-season major league, Boone was a .321 hitter with 26 home runs and 194 RBI in 356 games.

Boone was one of the greatest minor league hitters of all time. His .370 minor league career batting average set a new record, and in 1929 he set a professional baseball record, collecting 553 total bases while hitting .407 with 55 home runs and 218 RBI in 198 games played in the Pacific Coast League. The same season, Boone and his brother Danny (46) combined for 101 home runs.

As player/manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boone led the team to the International League championship in 1934 and also was named the league MVP, winning the batting title with a .372 batting average. He was later inducted into the International League Hall of Fame.

Boone died in Northport, Alabama, at the age of 61.
