Lynwood Thomas "Schoolboy" Rowe was a Texas boy through and through, and when he joined the Detroit Tigers in 1933, the Michigan fans loved the superstitious Pitcher.

A two time All-Star in the 1930’s, Schoolboy Rowe assisted the Detroit Tigers to two consecutive American League Pennants and a World Series win in 1935.  Rowe, who would twice lead the AL in SO/BB was a fan favorite for his good looks, southern charm and solid play.
