Biography

David Elwood "Dave" Rowe (October 9, 1854 – December 9, 1930) was an American Major League Baseball center fielder and manager from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His brother, Jack Rowe also played and managed in the Major leagues. Over the course of Rowe's career, he had 383 hits and a .263 batting average. He appeared in four games as a pitcher during his career, and in a game on July 24, 1882, Rowe allowed 35 runs to score, although only 12 of them were earned; it remains the record for most runs scored against a pitcher in major league history.
Rowe died in Glendale, California at the age of 76, and is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.
