McFarlane Toys MLB Sports Picks Cooperstown Series 4 Action Figure Ozzie Smith (St. Louis Cardinals) Brown Glove
Ozzie "The Wizard of Oz" Smith began his career with the San Diego Padres, but a lopsided trade sent him to St. Louis, where he made his mark as a Cardinal. Smith dazzled fans with his defensive brilliance, clutch hitting and customary backflip that saluted the hometown fans. Ozzie won 13 Gold Gloves and played in 15 All-Star games, won a championship in 1982 and was named the NLCS MVP in 1985, when his first-ever left-handed home run gave St. Louis a walkoff victory in Game Five. Ozzie was elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility back in 2002. Following his career, Ozzie worked as the voice of "This Week In Baseball," and is currently the national spokesman for baseball's prostate cancer detection campaign.
