Ask Michael Jack

schmidt%20si%20cover.jpgLast week we had readers submit questions for Chase Utley.

Read his answers here. Listen to the audio here.

So at the suggestion of GM-Carson at We Should Be GM's, I asked Mike Schmidt if he would be interested in participating. He said he would. So submit your questions for Schmidt. But please e-mail them to me here. Include your first name, first initial of your last name and city and state where you live. I'll take them for the next 24 hours, so hop to it.

Dennis Schoch:

Mike,

Thank you for all the good times in the '70s & '80s. If you had one thing that you could have done different during your time in Philadelphia what would that have been?

Thanks, Denny Schoch, Cary, NC

David Bell:

Mike what does it feel like knowing that you were the second greatest 3rd baseman to ever play for the Phillies?

-David Bell (Greatest Phillies 3rd Baseman of all time)

Rich Schu:

How dare you David.

Truth:

How fondly do you remember your time as the Phillies 3rd baseman, more specifically how would you compare the fans in Philadelphia to other fans in baseball cities across America?

Norma:

Ok, guys. This isn't brain surgery.

You have to EMAIL Todd from the link in his message!

I think because it was my suggestion, by default one of my questions should be asked to the all-time great. I'll work one up and email ya Todd.

steve:

In the wake of the Kendrick "punk" - can you give us the details on most memorable prank you've ever seen (or pulled, or been the butt of) in your career?

davegas:

Mike, I can't thank you enough for all the memorable years you gave to me and my family. You played in an era where there was a transition from the big money contract to the huge contract. It's easy for a player who made multi-millions to live for the rest of their life if they invested their money wisely. But the player that was average and made maybe a few hundred grand in his career if that much, does the MLB pension give that player enough to live on? How is that figure determined? Typically for a player who played 2 years and made 200,000 for his career; how much could he receive yearly?
