    Mike got the guts to mention Pete Rose in his speech. Very brave of him, but absolutely true.

    You can tell a lot about a man that stands up for a friend when few will. You'll always be the greatest Phillie.

    In the most classy way, Schmidt implied the hurt he felt from demanding fans while making an attempt to put things in a positive light. Though I'm not a Phillies fan, I have always admired this great Hall of Famer.

    Mike Schmidt will always be my favorite baseball player of all time. He really is the greatest third basemen of all time.

  • @McDago100
    @McDago100 9 років тому +5

    He was my favorite player in the 70s and 80s. He is an all-time great. He is a human, not perfect. He is an overachiever in every sense. In athletics and academics. God Bless.

    I hated Mike Schmidt so much when I was young.
    Only because he whipped on my Dodgers.
    What a classy man and great player he was.
    Outstanding and congratulations!!!

    "I only wish that all of you out there could stand right here and see what I'm looking at. It's truly amazing."
    I was there (in the crowd, not the stage, of course). And it was like the crowd from a Sunday-afternoon Phillies game at the Vet had been teleported to a field on the outskirts of a small town in Upstate NY... upwards of 40k people there. An amazing experience for me, all except for the sunburn :) .

      Patrick Gray When Schmidt was asked if Pete Rose should be in the Hall he replied, "He should have his own wing in the Hall." Schmidt played for OU Athens. A fellow Bobcat has to be right.

    Class act! Chicago guy here always hoped the Cubs could swing a trade for him because he killed the ball at Wrigley. Best third baseman ever!

      I lived in suburban Chicago till I was 9 years old in 1970. Then I moved to the Delaware Valley and gradually switched my support to the Philadelphia Phillies. I feel like I got to see perhaps the two best all-time 3rd basemen in Mike Schmidt and Ron Santo.

    With Derek Jeter's retirement I wanted to reflect on my baseball hero, Mike Schmidt. I was only 3 when Mike was a rookie so when I started playing little league his career started to take off. Whenever playing in the school yard with the strike zone chalked on the wall I pretended I was Mike Schmidt. So my first point of this post is to thank Mike for inspiring me to be an athlete. My second point is a little deeper. I idolized Mike for his baseball skill but my role model was always my father. I'd never look up to a sports professional as a role model outside of playing a sport. It's unfair to the athlete and the child if that is whom the child looks up to. Now I have children. I don't expect then to pretend to be me when swinging a bat or shooting basket. But I do hope that dedication to family and love and as Mike's speech mentioned positive encouragement teaches them to be their own role model and have confidence to do what is right I'll have my own hall of famers.

    Michael Jack Schmidt. The greatest 3rd baseman in Phillies history.

      Not just the phillies greatest 3b but the greatest in baseball history

    • @dapster
      @dapster 9 років тому +3

      Hydra strucker 10 Gold Gloves, 3 MVP's, most HR's by a 3B, yep that qualifies him as the greatest 3B of all time.

      I use to go to the vet and watch him lay as kid

      @Chris Hopple. Don't you mean that Schmidt is one of the greatest 3rd baseman MLB history, period!!!

      Agreed. Brooks Robinson lovers' always forget that Mike Schmidt had A HUGE glove. Despite there being a TON of great baseball players, to me, its really difficult to pin ANYONE down as to being the GOAT at their position. THE ONE position where I think it can be said is 3rd base, and the man is Mike Schmidt.

    Mike Schmidt was a player I would try hard to be able to watch on the tv. What a talent and what a natural athlete. Great head of hair, too.

      Most are. But there's not many people inducted every year, unlike the other sports where it can be 5-10 per year. It's rare for baseball to have more than 3 or 4 per year, often fewer.
