THE SIDELINES : Boone Heads Phantom Team
<i> From Times Wire Services</i>
ORLANDO, Fla. —
A National League expansion franchise is still just a dream in Orlando, but the team has named a manager.
Orlando Pro Baseball Inc. named Bob Boone, a 19-year major-league veteran, to run its team--if and when the group is awarded one. The former Angels catcher now plays for the Kansas City Royals.
Boone, 43, holds the major league career record for games caught--2,222. He plans to play one more year.
