[Josh Hitch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Solid book by one of the best shortstops to play the game. This was written after the 87 season and Ozzie would have 9 more years of playing (found it funny that he said he was fairly sure his current contract that lasted thru the 89 season would be his last...). But he described the seasons up to.that point well, including 3 world series. Was interesting to hear his side of the different events going on around him at the time.

Highly recommended for fans of Ozzie or the Cardinals.

ha, I got this book when I was probably about 10 or so. I loved Ozzie Smith and to this day, he's still my favorite baseball player.

Been many years since i read it ,but I loved it . There are not many players with the abilities and class of Ozzie. Get the whole story of the greatest shortstop to ever play the game !
