"'Frank Bowerman is the gamest guy who ever put on a uniform,' remarked George Gibson, former catcher and manager of Pittsburgh. Bowerman was once hit on the temple and knocked out and taken to the hospital. Everyone thought he was dead. Somehow, he turned up the next day ready to play. Before another game, machinery fell on his chest with a crushing effect. Yet after a few moments, Bowerman recovered enough to get to the ball park and catch another game." - The Sporting News, obituary for Frank, December 8, 1948
