Description |
Pictured here as a member of the Boston Braves, Hank Gowdy (1889–1966) was a catcher and first baseman in the major leagues with the New York Giants and Braves. He played with each team two different times in 1910-1930. He was a member of the 1914 World Series champion Braves, batting a clutch .545 in the series, and hitting the only home run. Known as a strong defensive catcher, Gowdy hit .270 in his career, and had 322 runs batted in. He became the first big league player to enlist in World War I and, as a member of the 166th Infantry Regiment of the Ohio National Guard, was involved in the brutal trench warfare in France. After his playing career, Gowdy coached with three different teams in the majors. He enlisted in World War II, and was commissioned a major in the United States Army. He received votes in 17 years for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, but was never inducted. |
