Is this Boog Powell related to the old Oriole 1st baseman also named Boog Powell?? Sure seems like a coincidence.

Well, the real Boog Powell is 74, but he was a good enough hitter he might be able to DH in the minors.

The Wikipedia page points out that he is of no relation, and that Boog is not his real name.

Reminds me of something Yogi said.

He was asked, “How do oyu think Ty Cobb would hit today?” After thinking about it for a minute, Yogi said, “About .301.”

“.301? Is that all?”

“Well,saad Yogi, “you gotta remember, the man’s almost 60 years old!”
