A surprising fact about Jesse Fowler that I do know is that the age difference between him and his brother Art Fowler (MLB 1954-64) was 23 years, the largest in MLB history. Jesse's professional career began in 1922 and Art's ended in 1970.

First-hand family accounts. You're not going to find that information online.
Also, his nickname of Pete was originally "Peach". He fell out of a peach tree as a kid. At some point, "Peach" morphed into Pete.
By the time Art was born, Pete had aready been married for nearly four years.
