Shortly after being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002, the St. Louis Cardinals unveiled this status as a tribute to one of the team’s greatest players – Ozzie Smith!
And of course, the sculptor had to feature Ozzie doing what he did better than anyone else, playing defense at shortstop…
What a great piece, huh?? The next time I am in STL, I am going to have to go check this out. I have seen a small handful of sports statues in person, but never one that appears to literally leap right at you!!!

Great pics! I’m sure his statue looks amazing next to Stan The Man’s.
OMG…ive never seen that. That IS exactly how I remember The Wizard. What a statue.
