In the World Series. Those two teams had the best two third basemen in baseball history.

him for what he did to the Spaceman.

And Nettles wasn't in the same class of Robinson and Schmitt anyway.

I’m a Philly Fan from birth (according to my Grandma). I’ve never idolized a baseball player except Schmidt. Went to many games at Baltimores Memorial Stadium with my Grandpa back in the 60s.

My two favorite football players, Chuck Badnarik and Drew Brees.

I became a Rays fan this year because I tried to seriously limit the politics. They are exciting. Hope they make it far enough to get a chance to play the O's.
