boone caught 131 games for the nl east champion phillies in 1977.  he set career highs in runs scored, doubles, and rbi that year, and topped his previous career high of 10 home runs with 11 long balls.  he also went 4 for 10 in the nlcs that year against the dodgers.  but we all know how that series turned out.
