At 71 years old, baseball legend Ozzie Smith looks back on a lifetime in the game and remembers the extraordinary players who left the deepest impression on him.
Known as “The Wizard” for his remarkable defense at shortstop, Ozzie spent years sharing the field with some of baseball’s greatest talents. But greatness, as he remembers it, wasn’t always about home runs, statistics, or awards. Sometimes it was the way a player moved, the pressure he created, or the feeling that something special could happen every time he stepped onto the field.
From his years in Saint Louis to the stars he competed against and the childhood hero he watched long before reaching the major leagues himself, these are memories from a remarkable era of baseball.
Featuring stories surrounding Willie McGee, Dave Concepción, Tony Gwynn, Rickey Henderson, and Roberto Clemente.
