Biography
Chick Bowen was a professional baseball player born in 1897, who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball during the 1919 season. His career was notably short, spanning just nine days from September 15 to September 28, 1919, during which he played in three games. Despite his limited time on the field, Bowen's involvement in the sport came during a transitional period in baseball, shortly after World War I and just before the onset of the roaring twenties, an era that would see significant changes in the game.
In his three games, Bowen recorded one hit and one run batted in, finishing with a batting average of 0.2. While he did not hit any home runs or steal bases, his presence on the field contributed to the rich tapestry of early 20th-century baseball. Bowen's career serves as a reminder of the many players who participated in the sport during its formative years, often leaving only a fleeting mark in the annals of baseball history.
