In my opinion, his defense was often overlooked playing in the same infield with guys like Brooks Robinson, Luis Aparicio, Mark Belanger, Davey Johnson and Bobby Grich.
Boog is still a favorite around Camden Yards and can often be seen signing autographs next to Boogs BBQ. Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, home of the spring training Orioles, has added a Boogs BBQ in left field.
1959 Bluefield Orioles
1960 Fox Cities Foxes
1961 Rochester Red Wings

Those are some great looking programs. I’m with you that Boog’s defense was often overlooked.
