Default Dick Fowler vintage signed 1949 Bowman card

I just added this vintage signed card of no-hit pitcher Dick Fowler to my collection.

Dick Fowler was the only Canadian to pitch a no-hitter, which he threw in September of 1945 upon returning from WWII.
Amazingly his no-hitter was his 1st pitching appearance in 3 years and was the 1st shutout in his career that spanned 10 seasons in the ML. Fowler was a huge guy for his era, 6'4" and 225 lbs. and I believe that at one point he was also a Canadian Mounty. He was inducted into the Canadian Sports HOF in 1985.
