Harry Howell was a prominent figure in the world of baseball, known for his exceptional skills as a pitcher. Born in New Jersey in 1876, Howell began his professional baseball career in 1898 with the National League's Brooklyn Bridegrooms, now known as the Los Angeles Dodgers. He played for the team for two seasons before moving to the Baltimore Orioles in 1901, where he played for one season.

In 1902, Howell joined the St. Louis Browns, a team in the American League, where he would spend the majority of his career. He quickly became one of the team's most reliable pitchers, known for his ability to consistently deliver strong performances. During his time with the Browns, Howell achieved a career-high 22 wins in the 1903 season. He also led the American League in earned run average (ERA) in 1906.

Howell's career took a brief detour in 1909 when he joined the New York Highlanders, now known as the New York Yankees. However, he returned to the Browns in 1910 and remained with the team until his retirement from Major League Baseball in 1910.

Despite retiring from the major leagues, Howell continued to be involved in baseball. He played for and managed several minor league teams, including the St. Joseph Drummers and the Sioux City Packers. He also served as a scout for the Cleveland Indians.

Howell's contributions to baseball were recognized in 1969 when he was inducted into the St. Louis Browns' Hall of Fame. He passed away in 1956, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most accomplished pitchers of his era. His career statistics include a win-loss record of 131-146, an ERA of 3.09, and 932 strikeouts. Howell's career spanned over a decade, during which he established himself as a formidable player and a respected figure in the sport.
