PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies extended the contract of manager Larry Bowa through the 2004 season. The Phillies on Tuesday exercised a one-year option on Bowa's current contract. It is the second time the team has exercised an option on Bowa's original two-year contract, signed in 2000. The team also added an option for 2005. Bowa, 166-157 as Philadelphia's manager, won the National League Manager of the Year award in 2001, when he led the Phillies to a second-place finish, two games behind Atlanta in the NL East. Last season, the Phillies finished 80-81. |
