BALTIMORE — The Boog Powells - Boogs Powell? — will meet in at last Tuesday at Camden Yards.
The A’s rookie, nicknamed Boog since he was a small child in order to distinguish him from his dad and grandfather — he’s Herschel Mack Powell IV —hit his first big-league homer Monday and almost hit the other Powell’s famous barbecue stand beyond the right-field fence. Oakland’s Powell always has wanted to meet the original, an Orioles legend who was the 1970 AL MVP, and Baltimore’s Boog, 76, will be taking the younger Boog, 24, out to his stand on Tuesday.
