I'm indifferent to the Brewers, but MAN, I want that bullpen cart replica!

I always enjoy a good Terry Harmon reference!

Harmon was the backup 2B-SS from 1969-77. If you count his brief pinch-running appearance in 1967, Terry was one of a very few 10-year players to have only played for the Phillies. (Also Mike Schmint and Larry Christensen, and maybe Ryan Howard too.)

Don Money was the Phillies' SS in '69, moved to 3B in '70 to accommodate Bowa, and moved to Milwaukee in '73 to accommodate Schmidt.
