Aaron John Boone (born March 9, 1973) is an American former Major League Baseball infielder. During his career Boone played for the Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Florida Marlins, Washington Nationals, and Houston Astros. He is currently employed by ESPN as a game analyst and is a color commentator for ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball coverage, as well as a contributor to Baseball Tonight. He is a member of the prominent Boone baseball family.
Boone played baseball for the University of Southern California. In 1993, he won a Cape Cod Baseball League championship with the Orleans Cardinals and hit 15 doubles that summer (still a club record).
On the last day of the 1998 season, the Reds helped him make baseball trivia history by starting the only infield ever composed of two sets of brothers: first baseman Stephen Larkin, second baseman Bret Boone, shortstop Barry Larkin, and third baseman Aaron Boone.
On September 22, 2002, he hit the last home run in Riverfront Stadium in the eighth inning. It was a solo home run off Dan Plesac.
For much of Boone's career, he was welcomed to the plate by his own fans with a loud "Booooooone." Although it sounded like fans were booing him, this was a play on his last name and was a positive cheer.
