Ozzie Smith star shortstop and All-Star for the St. Louis Cardinals

In addition to his famous backflips, “The Wizard of Oz” is also remembered as one of baseball’s greatest fielding shortstops. Ozzie Smith was a 13-time Gold Glove winner and a 15-time All-Star during a 19 season playing career, during which he primarily played for the St. Louis Cardinals. After his playing days were over, Smith became the host of the show “This Week In Baseball” taking over for the legendary Mel Allen. Ozzie Smith was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2002 and his uniform # 1 is retired by the Cardinals.
