Former Mariner Bret Boone has co-written a book about his family and its life in baseball, “Home Game: Big-League Stories from My Life in Baseball’s First Family.” But the most important aspect of it might turn out to be Boone’s acknowledgment of the alcohol problem he fights to this day.
Bret Boone likes to joke that he’s only read two books to completion. One is King Kong. The other is the one he just wrote.
It’s called “Home Game: Big-League Stories from My Life in Baseball’s First Family,” co-written with Kevin Cook, and it’s a lively and at times poignant recounting by one of most charismatic Mariners ever.
