Default Let's see your Hank Gowdy items
Hank Gowdy is one of my favorite pre-war players. The hero of the 1914 Miracle Braves - he batted .545 in the series. He was also the first MLB player to enlist in WW1.

A really interesting career but not quite enough for the HoF. Still, he received votes for the HoF 17 times.

You can read more about him at SABR https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/hank-gowdy/

I'll start with a few of my items:
W514, W516-1 and 2 plus a 1923 Type 1 Photo when Hank was traded to the Giants.

- 1914 Braves team-signed sheet (signed at a later reunion) incl. Gowdy
- giant (maybe 2' x 3') photo of the 1914 Braves team

Great items guys. Matt what are the rough measurements of that Tuxedo's Gowdy ad?

Hopefully we can get a bit more love for the original Hammering Hank. Before there was Hammering Hank Greenberg or Hammering Hank Aaron...Hank Gowdy was the original Hammering Hank!

To keep the thread going, here's a couple more of my Hank Gowdy items. His 1940 Play Ball and a 1934 Diamond Matchbook (U1).
