Rest In Peace Hosken Powell

Another player we lost in 2025 with an amazing name is former Minnesota Twins & Toronto Blue Jays outflelder Hosken Powell. What a name!

Powell was another player who came and went after a few seasons in the big leagues. Making his debut in 1978, he kicked around for six seasons and was an average player. His best season was his rookie year with 1.2 WAR, but statistically, it was likely his second season where he hit .293.

I remember him mostly from his name and his 1980 Topps baseball card. It is a very cool card and the year I had collected a very large amount of baseball cards. Though many have long forgotten him, he will always be a Baseball Card Memory to me. Rest in Peace, Hosken Powell!
