Henry Morgan Gowdy was an American professional baseball catcher, first baseman, manager and coach who played in the major leagues for the New York Giants and the Boston Braves.He was a member of the 1914 "Miracle" Boston Braves.He was the first active major league player to enlist for service in World War I, and the only player to fight in both World War I and World War II. In a seventeen-year major league career, Gowdy played in 1,050 games, accumulating 738 hits in 2,735 at bats for a .270 career batting average along with 21 home runs and 322 runs batted in.He ended his career with a .975 fielding percentage.Gowdy twice led the National League in caught stealing percentage.His 52.58% career caught stealing percentage ranks him sixth in major league history.Gowdy's reputation as a defensive stand out is enhanced because of the era in which he played. In the Deadball Era, catchers played a huge defensive role, given the large number of bunts and stolen base attempts, as well as the difficulty of handling the spitball pitchers who dominated pitching staffs.
