Bud Harrelson was a fan favorite shortstop who played for the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers from 1965 to 1980. After retiring, he served as a coach for the Mets and as manager of the Mets in 1990 and 1991.
Harrelson was typical of shortstops of his era: good fielder, poor hitter. He had a lifetime batting average of .236 and hit a total of seven home runs during his fifteen year major league career, but had a lifetime fielding percentage of .969. He was a National League All-Star in 1970 and 1971.
During the 1969 season, Harrelson was the linchpin of a very good middle infield, along with his frequent double play partner Ken Boswell. In the Mets' 1973 pennant-winning season, Felix Millan was his new counterpart. Bud is probably best known for his role in the 1973 NLCS Playoffs. In game three, he got into a fight with Pete Rose at second base.
