Wow, good question. I just checked, it appears he scored 22 field goals and 37 extra points for the Capital City Blues, which put him solidly into the 2,000 club, becoming the 12th member of the quantitative elite of kickers. He exceeded Charles Anthony, our kicker from week 10 2026 through his retirement after the 2042 season. Harrington is still behind Shane Shields, our kicker from 2054 through 2065, but Shields also played in Tucker for 4 seasons, so in a Merchantmen uniform, Harrington was already ahead of Shields. Anyway, Harrington moved up to 9th all-time in field goals and 11th in points scored, 2 behind the #10... Few kickers stick around for a 17th season, it will be interesting to see whether Harrington will at the age of 36.
