    At the 1917 World Series at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan. "Henry Morgan Gowdy Born: 8 / 24 / 1889 at Columbus, OH (US) Died: 8 / 1 / 1966 at Columbus, OH (US) Best known today as the first active major leaguer to enlist for service in World War I, Hank Gowdy was a "fair-haired skyscraper" (he stood 6'2" and weighed 180 pounds) who caught more than 100 games in only three of his 17 seasons in the majors.1 Gowdy had what we would now call a Zelig-like ability to turn up as a prime actor in some of baseball's most dramatic scenes." sabr.org/bioproj/person/afac3842
