He is my favorite. What happened at my first Phillies game? Well, I can still see my first glimpse of the field through the tunnel. Oh, and Michael Jack Schmidt hit a grand slam. Lol. I'll never forget it. I was lucky to grow up watching the best 3rd baseman to ever play the game.
Schmidt was simply on another level but sadly he would wilt in the playoffs. I'll never forget him going 1-19 in the 1983 World Series. Man if he showed up in the post season the Phils would have won more than 1 title. Still my all time favorite baseball player though. I miss saying to the TV, "C'mon, Schmidt".
