What more need be said? Let this picture tell the story, a large 33 ¼ x 46 ¼” silver-framed and matted remembrance of St. Louis Cardinal’s shortstop, Ozzie Smith, performing gymnastics at Busch Stadium. This tremendous back flip remains a perfect symbolic image of The Wizard of Oz’s prowess and energy on the infield, skills which have encouraged many to deem him the greatest defensive player of all time. Having won 13 consecutive Gold Gloves, having set a Major League record for assists by a shortstop, and participating in 15 All-Star games, Smith rules, and this iconic image says it beautifully. Purchased directly from the Cardinals.
