Ozzie Smith was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002. With 91% of the votes captured on his first ballot, Ozzie was the sole member of the class of 2002.
His career spanned 19 years and 3 decades. He compiled a lengthy list of amazing baseball accomplishments and earned the right to be classified as one of the game’s great players.
Ozzie was a 15-time All-star, a 13-time Gold Glove winner, and a World Series champion. And while his offensive numbers may not be staggering, he certainly left a big impact on the game!!!

Two of my favorite H.O.F. speeches are from Ozzie Smith & Andre Dawson.
