Bogener grew up in Palmyra, Missouri where he shared a bedroom with his grandfather and listened to St. Louis Cardinals games every night on his grandfather's transistor radio. His high school did not have a baseball team so he traveled to Hannibal, Missouri to play American Legion Baseball. He set his high school's all-time scoring record in basketball, a record which still stood as of 2016. He played college baseball for the Oklahoma Sooners before being selected in the sixth round of the 1978 Major League Baseball draft.[1] Bogener set the all-time stolen bases record at Oklahoma.[2]
Bogener hit a home run in his first at bat in Major League Baseball.[2]
In January 2008, he and his wife, Carolyn, moved to Estes Park, Colorado where they owned several vacation properties.[1]
