Reaching this level of support honestly feels like a heavy weight lifted off my shoulders. It is exhausting to keep pushing for recognition against the grain but seeing this many people acknowledge what Larry Bowa accomplished on the field gives me the energy to keep going.

The HoF sadly has a record of letting in subpar players based on their personalities & appeal to fans. Others are kept out for similar reasons. Bowa is a perfect example. His stats say he should be there but outside of Philly he isn’t looked at favorably. Its time for the HoF to live up to its original purpose.
As a teen in the 1970’s, I loved watching Larry play ball. I played softball and was always outside with my pitch back practice my skills. I wanted to be a great shortstop and third base player just like Larry and Mike Schmidt. Larry deserves to be in the hall of fame. One of the greatest shortstops of all time!
I'm old enough to remember bowa as an excellent defensive shortstop who was also on a threat to seal when on base he also turn into a respectable hitter..in other words he was not an easy out ( harrelson,belanger. Alley. Michael ) & also play with his heart on his sleeve
Saw both him and Mike Schmidt as rookies. It is unbelievable to me that he is not in the Hall of Fame based on his defense alone.
Because Bowa deserves it
Outstanding player coupled with tremendous leadership abilities
Great Shortshop whose coach and manager contributions have greatly contributed to baseball. Great player, great leader.

He represents the passion of baseball. A great defensive player, two Gold Glove Awards and led the National League (NL) in fielding percentage six times. He was a player, coach and manager. His love of baseball is something that is missing from baseball today.
