Bud Harrelson, scrappy Mets shortstop who once fought Pete Rose, dies at 79
NEW YORK – Bud Harrelson, the scrappy and sure-handed shortstop who fought Pete Rose on the field during a playoff game and helped the New York Mets win an astonishing championship, died early Thursday morning. He was 79.
The Mets said Thursday that Harrelson died at a hospice house in East Northport, New York after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. He was diagnosed in 2016 and publicly shared his struggle two years later, hoping he and his family could help others afflicted.

Re: RIP Bud Harrelson
I'm sorry to see this. I remember Bud well from his playing days. I always remembered that he was born on D-day. --Bob
