I remember my first 1970 Kellogg's Football cards more than I remember getting the baseball cards. Spin forward to the 2000s and I remember Boog Powell being the last card I needed to complete the 1970 set. In 1989 I also needed an Oriole (Mike Boddiker) to complete my 1988 Starting Lineup set.
1970 Rating -- 6 comment -- I wasn't that knowledgable about AL players yet.
2016 Rating -- 7 comment -- Is this a short-printed card?
I should have known more about a player who was MVP runner-up in 1969. He then won the 1970 MVP award and I knew more about him. He hit 339 career homers even though he played some years with the pitcher-friendly higher pitching mound.
Every time I went to an Orioles game in the last few years Powell was there at his restaurant. I remember him most from the Lite Beer commercials where the umpire says "Hey, you're Boog Powell!"
Boog was one of the few players to win a World Series and a Little League World Series.
