Aaron Harang has pitched for so many teams, in such a short time, that the walls at his home cannot keep up.
“My wife tells me I have to pick out which jerseys I want to hang up,” he said last week, on the phone from Colorado, “because we don’t have enough room in the house.”
These days, Harang wears the jersey of the Philadelphia Phillies, who will visit Citi Field for a series with the Mets this week in another stop on his alumni tour. After more than seven seasons of stability with the Cincinnati Reds, through 2010, Harang has pitched for the San Diego Padres, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Seattle Mariners, the Mets, the Atlanta Braves and the Phillies.
