HANK GOWDY
The Catcher usually hit 6th in the order.
Gowdy had a great 1914 World Series batting .545 with 3 doubles, a triple and the Series' only Home Run leading off the 10th inning of Game 3.
That Home Run brought the Braves back to within a run and they would score another run to tie it later that inning.
Gowdy would then lead off the 12th with a double and his pinch-runner, Les Mann, would go on to score the winning run moments later.
Nothing here yet.
