Former Baltimore Orioles slugger Boog Powell was involved in a car accident just two days after celebrating his birthday. The incident, which occurred on August 16, 2024, resulted in Powell losing his newly acquired classic car, a 1967 Ford Mustang, a model he had recently restored and was particularly proud of.
Powell, who had been driving the Mustang when the accident happened, sustained minor injuries but was otherwise unharmed. The accident took place in a rural area outside Baltimore, where Powell had been driving to visit some old friends. The details of the collision are still under investigation, but initial reports suggest that a sudden mechanical failure may have contributed to the crash.
The loss of the Mustang, which Powell had purchased as a birthday gift to himself, was a significant blow to the former baseball star. Known for his powerful presence on the field during his tenure with the Orioles, Powell had recently been enjoying his retirement by restoring classic cars—a passion he had developed in recent years.
Friends and fans alike have expressed their sympathy and support for Powell following the accident. Many have taken to social media to offer their best wishes for a speedy recovery and to express their admiration for Powell’s resilience and positive attitude.
Despite the setback, Powell remains upbeat and focused on recovery. In a statement, he reassured his supporters that while the loss of the Mustang is disappointing, he is grateful for his safety and the support he has received. Powell’s optimism and strength continue to inspire those who know him, reflecting the same tenacity that defined his legendary baseball career.
