Mets' M'Millan Was Hit by Virus
New York Daily News, September 8, 1965
Mets veteran shortstop Roy McMillan (whose name is oddly abbreviated as "M'Millan" in the headline) has been suffering from a respiratory virus. This has given young prospect Bud Harrelson a chance to get some playing time and, according to News columnist Dick Young, he's not quite ready yet. Apparently he gives ground balls "the old dipsy-do from the side."

Can Roy Do It Again For Mets?
New York Daily News, September 13, 1966
As the 1966 season draws to a close, veteran shortstop Roy McMillan is facing shoulder surgery, and his future is in doubt. Should the Mets trade for a new shortstop? Or should they give the job to another veteran, Ed Bressoud? Or is it time to turn to young prospect Bud Harrelson?

New York Daily News, February 5, 1970

In Dick Young's column, Bud reflects on his recovery from knee surgery in 1968 and how, as a minor league player attending a Mets game in San Francisco, he gained confidence when he witnessed his future mentor Roy McMillan make an error.
