This is a replacement for my book that was accidentally lost when friends helped me renovate my house. As a lifelong Cardinal fan, Ozzie is one of my all time favorites.
When Whitey Herzog swung the deal to obtain a slick fielding-no hit shortstop from the San Diego Padres, by the name of Osborne Earl Smith; he had completed the final piece to what would become a World Championship team - The 1982 St Louis Cardinals.The Cardinals were a team without a power hitter; they used speed and defense to win games, and nobody epitomized that quality better than Ozzie Smith - The Wizard.
Ha, I got this book when I was probably about 10 or so. I loved Ozzie Smith and to this day, he's still my favorite baseball player.
