Mike Schmidt stands as arguably the greatest third baseman in the history of Major League Baseball, a dominant force for the Philadelphia Phillies for his entire 18-season career from 1972 to 1989. A rare combination of elite power and superb defense, Schmidt was a three-time National League MVP (1980, 1981, 1986) and the anchor of the 1980 World Series championship team, where he was also named World Series MVP. He led the NL in home runs eight times, finishing his career with 548, and his defensive prowess at the hot corner earned him 10 Gold Glove Awards. Schmidt was a 12-time All-Star whose well-rounded game set a new standard for his position. His impact on the Phillies and the sport was permanently recognized with his first-ballot induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1995.
