New Mike Schmidt documentary details complicated relationship with Phillies fans

Mike Schmidt is the greatest player to sport a Philadelphia Phillies uniform, the best third baseman to ever man the hot corner and one of the most accomplished power hitters in the history of Major League Baseball. The former slugger and Hall of Famer hit 548 home runs, spent his entire career in one city and brought his club the first World Series championship in franchise history. What’s there not to love about that kind of player?
