Current MLB Player Boog Powell Meets Former MLB Player Boog Powell
On the surface, there's nothing all that intriguing about the meeting of John Wesley Powell, 76, and Herschel Mack Powell, 24, other than their shared last names and professions; the former was a star for the Orioles in the 1960s and the American League MVP in 1970, and the latter currently plays for the Athletics. But together, the Powells have created a confluence of Boogs; "Boog" is the given sobriquet for both. And on Tuesday afternoon, the two Boogs Powell finally came together in probably the only conference of Boogs that has ever existed, to discuss all things Boog.
