Undoubtedly, the highlight of Boone’s career was his entrance as a pinch hitter in Game Seven of the 2003 ALCS.
His walk-off home run off Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield in the 11th inning sent the Yankees on to the Fall Classic. Boone had a 12-year career that spanned across six different teams, spending nearly six years with the Cincinnati Reds. Besides his moment of postseason glory in 2003, Boone entered retirement with a .263/.326/.425 line. Not much of a memorable career.
