Former Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt visited the Phillies dugout before tonight's game against the Marlins at Dolphins Stadium.

No, he did not lead a pep rally or give a stirring, Knute Rockne-like speech.

It was more Tinkerbell-like.

"I shook a few hands and said good luck to them. I've always been a little bit of a lucky charm," Schmidt said. "I never planned it or anything. I've been to a lot of games. I hope it stays that way. I might not have come if they won last night.

"I felt like I needed to come and sprinkle a little Phillie dust on them."
