Mike Schmidt, Philadelphia Phillies 1980 World Series Champion and Hall of Famer

On today’s show, Tim welcomes Philadelphia Phillies 1980 World Series champion & Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt to the program. Schmidt shares about his early playing days right through college, the minors, and his 18-year career with the Phillies that included 8 National League home run titles, 548 career home runs, 12 All-Star appearances & 10 Gold Glove awards for defensive excellence--and highlighted by the 1980 World Series championship. Schmidt adds thoughts on his relationship with the Philadelphia fans, youth playing multiple sports (versus specializing) and what he's currently up to these days. Schmidt also shares about how his relationship with God has grown over the years, including a powerful story about former major leaguer Andre Thornton's role in that development.
