@dtwohig’s Mets Library #22: Turning Two

MetsPolice Library Turning Two

Bud Harrelson is the only person to be in uniform for both of the Mets World Series championships (hmmmm- the curse of Bud?).  He is an institution in Mets history.  In Turning Two: My Journey to the Top of the World and Back with the New York Mets, Bud recounts some known and – for me at least – previously unknown stories of both teams.

I love Bud.  I’ve met him several times and he remains one of my favorite Mets.  This is a nice book and while I enjoyed it, I would not put it in my top 10.

@dtwohig’s Autographed Baseball Cards #49: Bud Harrelson

One of the nicest and friendliest Mets I have ever had the privilege of meeting. The 1969 card Bud signed in person, while the other 2 I mailed to him. He not only sent them back immediately (7 days), he added in cardboard into the envelope I sent to make sure they wouldn’t bend.

Just a nice guy that really appreciates the fans
