Boog Powell played first base and outfield in the majors for 17 seasons, primarily for the Baltimore Orioles (1961-1974) but also the Cleveland Indians (1975-1976) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1977). While in Baltimore between 1966-1971 and playing with future Hall of famers Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson, Powell helped the Orioles win four A.L. pennants and two World Series.
Powell was named an All-Star four times and, in 1970, received A.L. MVP honors after notching 35 home runs and 114 RBI. He became a member of the Orioles Hall of Fame in 1979. In total for his career, Powell recorded a batting average of .266 with 1,187 RBI and 339 homers. At the time of his retirement, Powell trailed only Eddie Murray for career home runs in Orioles franchise history (he was later surpassed by Cal Ripken Jr.).
Born on August 17, 1941, in Lakeland, Florida, Powell signed with Baltimore in 1959 and made his MLB debut on September 26, 1961. A popular player both on and off the field, Powell appeared in a number of Miller Lite beer commercials during the 1970s and 1980s. After retiring, he opened Boog’s BBQ, which has three locations, including Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
