Over the next several months, I’m going to go back and take a look at the career of the greatest Philadelphia Phillie ever.  Mike Schmidt is arguably the best third baseman ever with George Brett being a close second. Schmidt was the MVP of the team that won the only World Series in the franchise’s history and he finished his career with more then 1,500 runs and RBIs and hit 548 career homeruns.  His eight homeruns titles are the second most of any player.  Only Babe Ruth had more.

And if you have any Mike Schmidt memories, be sure to leave a comment.  Schmidt also has an upcoming book that I’m sure I’ll check out.
