A Phillies great had no doubt as to the trajectory of current Phillies star Harper.
Philadelphia Phillies, Bryce Harper and former player, Mike Schmidt interact minute before facing the Toronto Blue Jays, at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Florida, March 19, 2022.Mike Schmidt displays his milestone home run balls — the ones he hit en route to joining the 500 Club — inside a trophy case at home.But that’s OK because Schmidt has the ball that matters most, the one he hit at Three Rivers Stadium in 1987 and ultimately secured his place in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
“You just go out and do your thing. You’re not counting yourself,” Schmidt said. “In my case, I was lucky enough to be 30 here, 36 here, a couple 40, then 400 came along, and the same old thing. You keep banging them and play hard every year and you’re lucky to avoid injury. The next thing you know, you begin to approach that number. It just happens.”
“Had we had the DH when I played, I definitely would have stayed longer,” Schmidt said. “I couldn’t get it over to first base because of shoulder surgery, but I could’ve been a DH nowadays. I could probably get two or three seasons and somewhere between 20 to 35 home runs. The numbers would have been significantly higher.”
