Schmidt (b. 1949) played in the majors from 1972 to 1989, all for the Phillies. Schmidt had 2,234 hits, 548 home runs and a career .267 batting average. He was a three-time NL MVP (1980, 1981 and 1986) and won the World Series with the Phillies in 1980. Schmidt is regarded as one of the greatest third basemen of all-time (I'd argue that Brooks is) and his 548 home runs are 15th all-time. Schmidt was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1995 (his first ballot) when he was named on 96.5% of the ballot (8th most all-time).
Schmidt is my 105th Hall of Fame signed baseball.
