Updated: Oct. 27, 2005, 5:21 PM ET Bowa to become Yankees' third base coachESPN.com news services Larry Bowa accepted the New York Yankees' offer to become the team's third base coach Thursday. A former manager of the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies, Bowa said he's prepared to work for Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who doesn't hesitate to second-guess his coaches. "You'll be on the hot seat. You don't like it, don't take the job," Bowa, who just completed his first season as a baseball analyst with ESPN, said recently at the World Series. "Everybody's got a boss -- I don't mean that [as in] 'The Boss.' Everybody's got a higher-up that you have to account for, and that's the way it is."
