All-Time National League East Team: The Third Baseman

[G-Fafif]

Schmidt happens, as do other N.L. East third basemen. Choose two for their hot corner work over the past 41+ seasons in the division.

(Note: Keeping individual players confined to one position ballot, thus Hubie Brooks is listed at shorstop, just as Todd Zeile is listed at third base, Edgardo Alfonzo is listed at second, et al.)

Mike Schmidt was the easy number one. Sorry David, but I have to ignore the bad taste in my mouth and take Larry Wayne Jones.

[Willets Point]

Schmidt's a no-brainer and I had to hold my nose and vote for Chipper too.

[Willets Point]

Oh boy, NYMR and I have rising similarity scores.

you can always argue that the scores are inaccurate and disregard such intangibles as your even temper and my foul mouth.

[Guest Kong76]

Chippah and Schmidt in a landslide!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Easier than I thought.

[Valadius]

Wow, the NL East is loaded at the hot corner.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Several solid careers to choose from, but Schmidt was clearly "the man" on this list. Chipper is an eventual hall of famer and gets my second vote.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm hoping I feel like changing my vote in 2-3 years.

[soupcan]

Easy. Schmidt.

The vote came out the way I figured them, Mike and then Chipper.
I'm late to the voting, but I'll vote anywayz to see who the rest of you picked.
If I'm way off base, I'll tell you why I voted the way I did.
