Newest Mets' player is less than thrilled
Poughkeepsie Journal, March 25, 1978
Bud Harrelson has been traded to the defending NL East Champion Phillies, but the player who came back in return, Fred Andrews, is slated to be a Triple-A player for an also-ran team. Not a good turn of events for Fred, who has 16 big league games under his belt but who would finish his career in Tidewater.
