Boog Powell
He helped lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 1966 World Series title upsetting the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers
Powell's individual achievements are equally impressive. In 1964, he led the American League with a .606 slugging percentage, showcasing his ability to hit for power. His crowning individual achievement came in 1970 when he was named the American League Most Valuable Player (MVP), a testament to his all-around contributions to the game. Powell was selected to the All-Star team four times, further highlighting his status as one of the premier players of his era. His powerful bat and leadership on the field made him a fan favorite and a respected figure in the league.
Over the course of his 17-season career, Powell posted a .266 batting average, hit 339 home runs, and drove in 1,187 runs. His .462 slugging percentage and .361 on-base percentage reflect his ability to get on base and drive in runs consistently. Powell hit three home runs in a single game on three separate occasions, a rare feat that underscores his power-hitting prowess. He remains third on the Orioles' all-time home run list, trailing only Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken Jr., two other legends of the franchise.
In recognition of his contributions to the Orioles, Powell was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame in 1979. Although he received only five votes for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983, his legacy as one of the most important players in Orioles history is unquestioned. Powell's impact on the game, particularly during the Orioles' golden era, continues to be remembered by fans and baseball historians alike.
