ANAHEIM — Monday’s trip to Angel Stadium was a special occasion for A’s rookie Boog Powell.
Having grown up in the nearby city of Irvine and attended Mission Viejo High School and Orange Coast Community College, Powell is an Orange County product through and through. Naturally, Powell grew up a huge Angels fan and would often attend ballgames along with his friends and family.
Although he played in the stadium once already earlier this season as a member of the Seattle Mariners, this is Powell’s first trip back since. There will be no shortage of support for the A’s outfielder.
