Second Week in January
On Jan. 8, 1995, former Philadelphia Phillies standout Mike Schmidt was elected to the Hall of Fame. A phenomenal all-around third baseman with power, speed, and range in the field, Schmidt wore the Phillies home jersey pictured here during the 1982 season, when he hit 37 home runs and led the National League in both slugging and on-base percentage. Schmidt also paced the NL in home runs eight times and RBIs four times during his stellar career, totaling 548 home runs and three National League MVP awards.
