- Terry Harmon was released at the end of spring training in 1978 and retired. Harmon had managed to stay with the same team for ten years. He endured some lean times in his career, such as in 1974 when he spent the whole year with the Phillies but got in only 27 games and batted only 15 times. Three infielders (Dave Cash, Larry Bowa, and Mike Schmidt) played in 162 games that year, so Terry had a hard time getting into games.
Harmon, Mike Schmidt, and Larry Christensen are the only 10+ year players who played their entire career with the Phillies. Maybe Jimmy Rollins will join that group.
