Episode Details

Mike Schmidt, baseball legend and cancer survivor, reveals how a routine dermatologist visit in 2013 led to a life-altering Stage 3 melanoma diagnosis — and how a chance encounter with his doctor became his second chance. After grueling treatments, including a failed chemo regimen and brain/lung cancer spots, he emerged with a profound new appreciation for life. Now using his platform — from Reading Phils games to the MLB All-Star Game in Philly — to champion sun safety and early detection, Schmidt also reflects on his own journey from Reading’s minor leagues to the majors, and how Kyle Schwarber recently broke one of his own home run records. With regular checkups and a renewed focus on health, Schmidt’s story is one of resilience, vulnerability, and hope.
