@baseballcrank Dan, check out Harry M. “Hank” Gowdy who was the first professional ball player to enlist in War1.
Cheers and stay separated.

Yes, member of the 1914 Miracle Braves and a coach for Cincinnati after the war. He served in War-2 as the special services officer at Fort Benning, as a major, I think. The post named a small ball field on main post in his honor, which still exists. PCG

Grandfather, I'm guessing? Fine career.
