In this must-watch clip, Tim Harkness, former first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, recounts a remarkable moment from his playing days as he stood on deck while Jimmy Piersall rounded the bases backwards after hitting his 100th Major League home run. It’s a rare, firsthand look at an unforgettable event, told from his perspective watching Piersall approach home plate.
The video holds even deeper meaning now, following the recent passing of Tim Harkness, who died November 27, 2025, at age 87. Harkness was more than a stat line, he was part of baseball’s fabric during the game's transformative era, later dedicating decades to coaching and mentoring young players.
