  • The Wizard; Ozzie Smith

    The Wizard; Ozzie Smith
    Sep 29 2024
    This week we do a deep character profile bio on the Wizard, Osborne Earl Smith. Ozzie Smith was one of the few players who could beat you with just his glove, and phenomenal defensive feats. The 15 time All Star, winner of 13 consecutive Gold Gloves, is widely regarded as the greatest defensive shortstop ever, if not the greatest defender at any position, in the history of the game. From being overlooked because of his diminutive stature, to owning the shortstop stage at Busch Stadium, the Wizard's climb to baseball immortality, is a story of resillence and perseverance. #OzzieSmith #SanDiegoPadres #RayKroc #WhiteyHerzog #GaryTempleton #JackBuck #TomNiedenfuer #JeffBurroughs #LockeHighSchool #EddieMurray #CalStatePoly
