Bill McGowan Umpire School Postcard
 

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Is anyone familiar with this item? I am trying to determine if Bill McGowan, HOF Umpire, is pictured himself on this postcard which originates from a small postcard set produced by his Umpire School in FLA from 1949-1951.<br /><br />Any assistance is greatly appreciated.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s120/bcbgcbrcb/McGowan.jpg"><br /><br /><br />

It's not listed in the Standard Catalog, but I think you may have something there!<br /><br />For comparison:<br /><img src="http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s290/triwak/213.jpg">
