Hooray for Mike Schmidt

[Backtobanks]

Mike Schmidt has a column at foxsports.com saying that he thinks more players ought to be voted into the HOF. He points out that players like Dale Murphy, Lee Smith, Jim Kaat, Ron Santo, etc. ought to be in the HOF. He also discusses how he felt after first getting elected and how his feelings have changed. Let's hear it for Schmidt and I'm hoping he can convince some of the other voters.

Well, he's done a 180.

 

His attitude used to be that he'd never vote for any guy on the veteran's committee ballot because if they didn't get in from the writers there's no reason for them to get in now.

 

Good for him.

But wasn't Schmidt a butt kisser of Joe Morgan, like Gary Carter?
