The Mets said Thursday morning that Harrelson died at a hospice house in East Northport, New York after a long battle with Alzheimer's.
The first came as the infield anchor of the 1969 Miracle Mets, the other as the club's third base coach in 1986.
Throughout his health ordeal, Harrelson stayed involved with his professional pride and joy. He was part-owner of the Long Island Ducks, an independent minor league team located minutes from his home.
