"We were saddened to learn of Mets Hall of Famer Buddy Harrelson's passing," Mets owners Steve and Alex Cohen said in a press release made by the Mets Thursday morning. "He was a skilled defender and spark plug on the 1969 Miracle Mets. The Gold Glove shortstop played 13 years in Queens, appearing in more games at short than anyone else in team history. Buddy was the third base coach on the 1986 World Champs, becoming the only person to be in uniform on both World Series winning teams. We extend our deepest condolences to his entire family."
