"Boog" may not be the most common of nicknames, but when it comes to baseball, the name seems to have a habit of being passed down from generation to generation.
The Oakland Athletics have a Boog on their roster. Boog Powell, born Herschel Mack Powell IV, made his major league debut earlier this season with the Seattle Mariners before being acquired in a trade by the A's for Yonder Alonso earlier this month.
On Monday, Herschel "Boog" Powell hit his first MLB career home run against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
