Great to see.. Why did it take so long? Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,316 Status: Offline     RE: Mike Schmidt Honored    Posted: 10/13/2014 1:55:50 PM  I was so happy to see this honor and also that many, many folks in the stands gave him a standing O when he was introduced. I don't know all of the details about why it took so long, but I do have a little knowledge on the subject. All I will say is that there were "issues" and that Jim Schaus deserves many kudos for overcoming them. It's wonderful to have probably our greatest athletic alumnus of all time back in the fold once more. A very happy reunion, indeed!

MLB HOF 1995, Bob Wren Stadium 2014. There had to be a pretty fair number in attendance who would have no recollection of ever seeing Schmidt play. Retired in 1989. That's twenty five years, kids. I was afraid it might end up like many other introductions in Peden, with just a smattering of polite applause. How inappropriate that would have been, too. We didn't thunder like I hoped but it wasn't bad. At least he's back in the fold.

Being a collector, I would have loved to see him. Also, these items are up for auction. Bobcat fans need this: http://www.goldinauctions.com/1970_Mike_Schmidt_s_Collegi...

Maybe there is another reason he's been back to Athens twice in 35 years.

So he's selling his All-American Ring and Lettermans Jacket? Makes sense! Well, he' settling a lot of stuff. Gold Glove Award, All-Star ring etc. He's 65 and dealing with cancer. Seems to me he's trying to make life easier for his family in settling his estate. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.
