Larry Bowa was born in Sacramento on this day in 1945. He played his first game in 1970. And another 2,247 games after that!
Bowa was one of the key players in the Phillies who won 3 NL East titles and the 1980 World Series. He finished his career with the Cubs and played in the 1984 NLCS.
We remember him as a great shortstop and a hard nosed player, or the kind of guy that you wanted on your side.
