Who Was Jeff Fowler?
A baseball fan, an uncle, a friend
Jeff Fowler might just have been the world’s all-time greatest baseball fan. However, he is most remembered for being a loving husband, son, brother, uncle, coach and friend.
With 15 nieces and nephews, he was known to most as Uncle Jeff.
On March 23, 2013, Uncle Jeff lost his 14 year battle with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Uncle Jeff, or “Fig” as his Patriot teammates called him, is a 1983 graduate of Park View High School where he played baseball and basketball.
On and off the field, Uncle Jeff dedicated his life to his family and teaching his nieces and nephews everything he could about sports, but more importantly served as a lifelong role model for everyone he ever met.
A fond memory to introduce Jeff
Uncle Jeff met his nephews at a Frederick Keys game on a day in which temperatures would climb over 100 degrees. Being the baseball expert he was and knowing Harry Grove Stadium inside and out, Uncle Jeff asked his nephews if they wanted to sit near the field to be right on top of the action or in the shade. Both immediately said shade. Uncle Jeff approached the ticket window and got three tickets in the shade for himself and his nephews.
Once inside the stadium, his nephews heard the classic Uncle Jeff “Doh!” and knew their clown of an uncle had made a mistake.
That was the last time Owen and Patrick ever got to watch a live baseball game with Uncle Jeff. The Frederick Keys lost to the Wilmington Blue Rocks as Uncle Jeff, Owen, and Patrick watched in the 100-degree sun, one section away from the shade.
