Joe Bowman Stats

Joe Bowman was born on Friday, June 17, 1910, in Kansas City, Kansas. Bowman was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 18, 1932, with the Philadelphia Athletics. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Joe Bowman baseball stats page.

"I'm just using something I always had, a knuckleball. Something that a lot of managers and catchers talked me out of pitching when I was young, because they said I would hurt my arm. I might have been a great pitcher, one of those fellows who win 17 or 18 games a year over a long period of time, if I had started using my knuckler as regularly as I do now. I knew how to throw it when I first started pitching in Portland, and I was successful there. Then, when I got to the big leagues, a couple of managers, who didn't know any more about pitching than I know about raising bees, and a couple of catchers who used their heads only as hat-racks said, 'Don't throw that knuckler-it will hurt your arm." - Joe Bowman in The Sporting News (August 16, 1945, Dan Daniel)
