Ozzie Smith to Speak at Truman for Holman Family Distinguished Speaker Series
A World Series champion and 15-time All-Star, Smith put together one of the most accomplished careers in baseball history. He won 13 consecutive Rawlings Gold Gloves from 1980 to 1992, with his highlight-reel defensive plays earning him the nickname the Wizard of Oz. Smith was selected as one of the 100 Best Baseball Players of the 20th Century by Major League Baseball and recognized as the shortstop on the Rawlings All-Time Gold Glove Team.
Offensively, Smith had 580 stolen bases and more than 2,000 career hits. His walk-off home run in the 1985 National League Championship Series helped him earn the series MVP and is immortalized in Cardinals’ history with the help of broadcaster Jack Buck’s call “Go crazy folks.” It was voted as the greatest moment in Busch Stadium history.
