Michael Jack Schmidt #294

I just saw The Chronicles of Fuji post about Mike Schmidt and I knew that I was going to do a post about him soon. So here it is.  I saw that Fuji mentioned that Schmidt retired 23 years ago today. I remember when he retired, I think it was Memorial day. Schmidt is the second best player (to Bonds) in the last 40 years.

I really did not like any of the regular cards the big three put out of Schmidt in 1982, though I think his special Fleer card holding the MVP trophy was (still is) cool.
