We are proud to announce that Buddy Harrelson will be appearing at QBC ’16 to do a panel and autograph signings (one autograph from Buddy and one from player two is included in the price of admission).
Buddy will also be receiving THE GIL HODGES UNFORGETTABLE FIRE AWARD. Past recipients have been Gil Hodges(accepted by Gil Hodges Jr.) and Ed Charles. The Gil Hodges Unforgettable Fire Award is presented each year by QBC to a special figure in our team’s history, someone whose memory will always warm our hearts, brighten our spirits and lights our way.
Buddy Harrelson anchored the Mets’ infield for thirteen seasons, including their 1969 season, and 1973 pennant-winning season.
After his retirement, Harrelson managed the Little Falls Mets in 1984 and the Columbia Mets in 1985. When Mets third base coach Bobby Valentine accepted a managerial position with the Texas Rangers part way through the 1985 season, Harrelson replaced him on Davey Johnson’s coaching staff.
