BALTIMORE -- The A's Boog Powell will soon meet the man responsible for the name he took on at age 5, with plans in place for the young outfielder to spend time with Orioles legend Boog Powell on Tuesday.
The meeting of the Boogs is set to unfold at Boog's BBQ just beyond the center-field bleachers on Eutaw Street, where the elder Powell has been serving up barbecue for 25 years.
"He asked me what kind of meat I liked," the A's Powell said, smiling, "so I think he's going to make something good."
"That'll be cool," A's manager Bob Melvin said.
