Harrelson's HR's as rare as a Supermoon

The 150-pound Mets shortstop hit seven career major league home runs, six with the Mets. A Harrelson HR was a rarity, like a “Supermoon” event.

You’d think a writing assignment to chronicle Bud Harrelson’s career home runs would be a breeze. I mean, come on, he only hit six home runs with the New York Mets and one with the Texas Rangers.

But after researching Harrelson, trying to find details for each of his home runs was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. You’d expect a celebration, if for no other reason the unexpectedness of such an event.

But, no. Harrelson’s homers came and went with about the same force as his swing.
