Career

Bowers attended Richmond High School in Richmond, Virginia, and at age 17, he received a tryout with the Baltimore Black Sox. He made his debut in the final game of a series against the Cuban Stars (East).[2] He allowed five hits in six innings, with the game being called at that point due to darkness.[3] He then earned a contract, and pitched in at least five recorded games over two seasons with Baltimore.
