mike schmidt is the best third baseman of all time. 10 golden gloves , 12 mvps, 548 homeruns. nuff said

schmidt was MVP of the NL only 3 times. he was selected as an all-star 12 times. he is certainly one of the top 5 third basemen of all time, and arguably the best in his generation.

Most often you'll get a response of Babe Ruth especially by the stat prone;informed baseball people know Roberto Clemente is the best all around athlete to play that position in the 'modern era'. There's simply not enough profit$$$ in promoting Clemente and until Latinos become the 'money demographic' (don't hold your breath) you'll continue to get Ruthian exaltation

What are two outs in once baseball game?

When the defensive team in baseball, gets two players out in one play, it is called a double play. This usually occurs when the ball is hit between the second and third base. The short stop between the second and third base throws the ball to the second baseman, who gets the runner from first base out. Then the second baseman throws the ball to the first baseman, who gets the hitter out. There are other ways that a double play can occur, however, this is the most common way.
