Former Baltimore Oriole first baseman Boog Powell, stopping by to chat with the other celebs, was visible just offstage as Hillary came out. As it happens, there were tons of Oriole fans in the audience who immediately began yelling "Boooooog!"

Actually, they were chanting "Lou-u-u-u-u", for former Yankee and now Seattle manager Lou Piniella.

Re: Boog Powell:
I remember going to Memorial Stadium as a kid. The first time I was on the top row right in front of the low concrete wall protecting you from a 200' drop. I nearly jumped over the wall twice. The second time was when they announced Boog Powell (BOOOOG!). The first time was when they got to the closing stanza of the National Anthem (O! say does that Star Spangled Banner...)
I've never been to Camden Yards, and I'm not sure I want to go. Besides, these days I go to The Home Office Of Baseball...
