A very entertaining story about a Philadelphia Phillies fan who has had a close friendship with Larry Bowa for over four decades, a relationship by the way, that Larry Bowa knows nothing about. The author, a Northeast Philadelphia native, takes us on a journey from when he was a small child, idolizing the hot tempered shortstop, up until his adulthood, when he finds himself still doing the same. This touching and funny story takes us through the disappointing losses, trades and firings of Larry Bowa's career and shows us that rooting for your idol doesn't stop when his uniform changes.
