He left the Braves in 1918 to join the Army and served in France as a sergeant in the 166th Infantry Regiment. After his military service, Gowdy returned to the Braves in 1919 and played a key role in leading the team to its first National League Championship in 1914. He was also the starting catcher for the Braves in the 1914 World Series and helped the team win the championship by hitting .545 with five RBIs in the four-game series.

Gowdy’s baseball career was not just limited to his playing days. After retiring as a player, he worked as a coach and then a manager. He served as the manager of the Braves from 1932 to 1933 and then went on to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1934 to 1937. Hank Gowdy was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1960 and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the second-highest military decoration that can be awarded to a member of the United States Army, for his service in World War I.
