The Mets said Thursday that Harrelson died at a hospice house in East Northport, New York after a long battle with Alzheimer's. He was diagnosed in 2016 and publicly shared his struggle two years later, hoping he and his family could help others afflicted.
"It was easy to see why the '69 guys loved him. He was great on defense and he was tough," Mets broadcaster Ron Darling, who pitched for the club from 1983-91, told the New York Post in 2018.
