Frank Bernard "Beauty" McGowan (November 8, 1901 – May 6, 1982) was an American professional baseball player, an outfielder who appeared in 375 games over five seasons (1922–1923; 1928–1929; 1937) in Major League Baseball for the Philadelphia Athletics, St.
Louis Browns and Boston Bees.
The native of Branford, Connecticut, threw right-handed, batted left-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) and weighed 190 pounds (86 kg). McGowan spent the intervening seasons as a stalwart in minor league baseball.
He played all or parts of 13 seasons in the top-level International League — largely with the minor league edition of the Baltimore Orioles, but also with the Newark Bears and Buffalo Bisons — and was a member of the inaugural class (1947) of the International League Hall of Fame.
McGowan was a slugger in the minors, once hitting 37 home runs for the Orioles. After retiring from the field, he became a long-time scout for the Baltimore Orioles of the American League, the former St.
Louis Browns franchise.
He died in Hamden, Connecticut, at age 80.
