Description

1981 Autographed Larry Bowa Baseball Card
A must have for any Philadelphia Phillies fan.

Larry Bowa, former Phillies shortstop and Manager.
Characterized by his soft hands, strong arm, and fiery personality, he won two Gold Glove Awards and led the National League in fielding percentage six times, then a league record. From his 1970 rookie season through 1981, Bowa provided solid reliability in the Phillies' infield, along with third baseman Mike Schmidt; from 1976 to 1981, the Phillies reached the postseason five times, ending a drought dating back a quarter of a century.
He retired with the NL record for career games at shortstop (2222) and the major league records for fielding average in a career (.980) and a single season (.991, in 1979), and was also among the career leaders in assists (6th, 6857) and double plays (4th, 1265); his records have since been broken, though he retains the NL mark for career fielding average.
