Primarily a shortstop during his nine-year career (1946\u20131954) in minor league baseball, Garbowski appeared in two Major League games for the 1952 Detroit Tigers as a pinch runner. The native of Yonkers, New York, threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg). He was a veteran of the United States Army who served during World War II. Garbowski was selected from the unaffiliated Seattle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League in the 1951 Rule 5 draft and made the Tigers' 28-man, early-season roster out of spring training in 1952. In both his pinch running appearances, he substituted for slow-footed Detroit catcher Matt Batts, on April 16 against the St. Louis Browns and on May 9 against the Chicago White Sox. He recorded no runs scored and no stolen bases in those two games. He did not appear as a fielder on either occasion. He was sent to Detroit's Triple-A Buffalo Bisons affiliate on May 13 when rosters were cut to 25 men. Garbowski appeared in 944 games as a minor leaguer."@en . "MLB"@en . . . . . "Right"@en . . . . .
