Harrelson couldn’t hit much (tho he was a two-time All-star) and it’s lazy to just associate him with the infamous fight he had with Pete Rose during the 1973 NLCS. But he was pretty good defensively, loved by teammates and fans, managed the Mets for a couple of years and of course, was a world champion. He’ll be greatly missed.
