(4) Bud Harrelson vs. (13) Nolan Ryan
(4) Bud Harrelson – First Mets player to ever inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame. Two time All-Star and first infielder to ever win a Gold Glove. Started a brawl with Pete Rose during the 1973 NLCS. Only person on the field for both the 1969 and 1986 World Series.
(13) Nolan Ryan – First and only Hall of Fame player drafted by the Mets organization to debut with the team. Earned a win in the 1969 NLCS clinching game and a save in Game 3 of the World Series. Best known not for his time pitching with the Mets but rather for the trade which netted the Mets Jim Fregosi.

On Bud Harrelson, you state: ” …. only person on the field for both the 1969 World Series and 1973 NLCS ….”
Weren’t both Cleon Jones and Jerry Grote also on the field for both the 1969 World Series and 1973 NLCS?
Thanks for catching that. Meant for 1969 and 1986
