It’s a photo that’s ingrained in the heads of practically every Mets fan.

There is third base coach Buddy Harrelson running along side Ray Knight who scores the winning run to cap the wild 10th inning rally in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series vs. Boston.

Everyone should think about Buddy today on his 78th birthday and who is quietly battling a serious illness. He is the only Met to have a World Series ring from 1969 and 1986 and he served our organization as a player, coach and manger.

There is not a finer person than Buddy Harrelson.
