Still it's a surprise to see this image, of Bowa in full uniform (and home uniform no less), and during one of his only 11 plate appearances in Shea Stadium as a Met, osted from the always productive files of eBay seller Dr. Jayteee:

Almost certainly from his first game with the Mets, the second game of a double header on
23-Aug-1985. Matching what we can see in this photo with details from the play-by-play, it seems to be from his first Mets at-bat, in the third inning.
