Smith broke in with the San Diego Padres , and then was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1979. He would finish his career with the Cardinals. A weak hitter early in his career, Smith improved at the plate through the years. He never had much power, however, because of his speed and somewhat average hitting skills he developed over the years, he was able to serve as a compotent leadoff hitter. His real asset was his glove, with which he often won more ballgames with then the hitters on his team did. Smith also had some speed, and had 580 steals in his total career, good for twentieth on the all time list. Ozzie's greatest season came in 1987, when he had a .303 batting average , 43 stolen bases, 75 RBIs runs scored, and 40 doubles en route to helping the Cardinals get into the playoffs.

Extractions: Ozzie Smith Named to Baseball Hall of Fame Reuters News Service Posted Jan. 8, 2001 (Cooperstown, N.Y.) Ozzie Smith, whose spectacular defense at shortstop became a barometer for all shortstops, was the only player voted to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday. Among those snubbed were 1987 former Most Valuable Player Andre Dawson and 10-time All-Star catcher Gary Carter, who failed to receive the necessary 75 percent of votes on writers' ballots. Smith, who played with San Diego and St. Louis from 1978-96, received 92 percent and will enter the Hall by himself this summer. A 15-time All-Star and switch-hitter who amassed 580 stolen bases, Smith was best known for his incredible defense, which led to 13 Gold Glove Awards. Among shortstops, Smith ranks first all time with 8,375 assists and 1,590 double plays. He also is second with 2,511 games played and a .978 fielding percentage.

Extractions: "The Wizard" will be one of the few Hall of Famers inducted for his defensive skills. Immensely popular for his acrobatics on the field, Smith was named to the All-Star team every year from 1981-1996, except 1993, and was voted in by the fans most of those years. He won the Gold Glove Award each year from 1980-1992, and finished second to Andre Dawson in voting for the 1987 NL MVP. His production at the plate left much to be desired, hitting only 28 home runs in his 19-year career and finishing above .300 only once, but he had some speed on the basepaths, stealing 580 bases in his career. But his defensive skills, which include a .978 lifetime fielding percentage, made up the difference and it is his fielding ability that will insure his place among the baseball immortals.
Extractions: H W B T : R Yr G AB H HR RBI SB BA If Ozzie Smith's career proved one thing, it's that even a player with great defensive skills can be exciting. Just look at the way he flipped as he ran out on the field. Smith's career in Major League Baseball started with a fourth-round selection by the San Diego Padres in 1977 and came full circle with his election to the Hall of Fame in 2002. After staring as a high school athlete in Los Angeles, Smith made his professional debut with the Padres in spring 1978. His phenomenal command of the position of shortstop earned him second place to Bob Horner in rookie of the year voting. No one denied his defensive abilties. In 1980, he set a major league record for shortstops with 621 assists. What was debated, however, was his ability to hit. He was now a 27-year-old shortstop with a lifetime average of .231. After the 1981 season, Smith's agent angered the Kroc family, owners of McDonalds and the Padres, with salary demands. The Padres decided to see if they could trade him and they found a deal with St. Louis that would send Smith to the Cardinals for Gary Templeton who had worn out his welcome in St. Louis. Smith, however, had a no-trade clause and postponed the deal for a couple of months before the Cardinals' Whitey Herzog gave Smith salary arbitration.
