[edit] Regular season

In 1976, Mike Schmidt hit 12 home runs in Philadelphia's first 15 games, including 4 in one game on April 17[1]. No one had hit this many home runs so quickly. The feat was later tied by Alex Rodriguez in 2007. Schmidt won his first of 10 Gold Gloves that year and carried the Phillies to the 1976 NLCS where he hit .308.
