Ozzie Smith, known as “The Wizard,” is a former American professional baseball player who achieved legendary status as one of the greatest shortstops in the history of Major League Baseball (MLB). Born in 1954, Smith’s defensive skills and acrobatic plays revolutionized the position. His agility, range, and unmatched glove work earned him an astonishing 13 Gold Glove Awards throughout his career. Smith’s exceptional defensive prowess was matched by his offensive contributions, as he amassed over 2,400 hits and was a consistent threat on the basepaths. Beyond his individual accolades, Smith played a pivotal role in leading the St. Louis Cardinals to the 1982 World Series championship. His infectious enthusiasm and signature backflips before games made him a fan favorite and an iconic figure in the sport. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002.
