- There wasn't much left in the tank for Boog Powell when this card was made. Powell was released by the Cleveland Indians during spring training in 1977. Boog signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Dodgers didn't really have a place for him to play (1B Steve Garvey wasn't going to be sitting down much). Powell was released on August 31 to make room for Jerry Grote and that was it for his career.
