Mike Schmidt enjoyed one of his most productive seasons in 1976 leading the National League with (38) homeruns and earning the first of what would become ten Gold Gloves for his play in the field. He started the season by hitting (12) homeruns in the Phillies first (15) games, a stretch which included his April 17th performance when he became just the 10th player in history to hit four in one game. He led the club to an NL East Championship and began to cement his legacy as the greatest player in franchise history. The uniform was originally purchased in the period through a Phillies related charity event and has remained in the family of the original recipient since that time. Without reservation, among the finest pieces of Phillies game used material we have handled and of museum quality.
