A couple of decades before there was Mike Schmidt, the Philadelphia Phillies had another enigmatic Third Baseman in Willie Jones, one of the famed “Whiz Kids”.  Jones was with Philadelphia for a little over a decade and he would produce an even 1,400 Hits for the team.  Jones showed off some power with a pair of 20 Home Run seasons, both of which he also earned a trip to the All-Star Game (1950 & 1951).  He would smack a  total of 180 dingers for the Phils.  While he was a little immobile at times at the hot corner, he didn’t make that many mistakes as shown by leading all Third Basemen in the National League in Fielding Percentage six times.

Jones entered the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 1994.
