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 - always has wanted to meet the original Boog Powell, an Orioles legend who was the 1970 AL MVP but who might be even better known now for his barbecue stand at Camden Yards. Baltimore’s Boog, 76, will be taking the younger Boog, 24, out to his stand on Tuesday afternoon.
“I’ve always told myself I’d meet him here, and it’s finally here!
