Just YouTube Ozzie Smith defensive highlights and you will see why.

I'm not sure of the analytic stat... I think it is something like "Defensive Runs Saved".... But Ozzie Smith by that statistic is the greatest defensive player in history.

He is still beloved in St Louis and a super nice guy.

Also, Baseball Reference "Defensive WAR", Ozzie Smith is the best of all time.

The list goes like this.

Number 1 Ozzie Smith.
Number 2 Mark Belanger.
Number 3 Brooks Robinson.
Number 4 is Cal Ripken Jr.
Number 5 is Joe Tinker.
Number 6 is Luis Aparicio.
Number 7 is Rabbit Moranville.
Number 8 is Pudge Rodriguez.
Number 9 is Omar Viquel.
Number 10 is Bobby Wallace.

By the way. Number 14 is Yadier Molina. As a Cardinals fan I just wanted to throw that in.

Ozzie was a lot of fun to watch. I'm not surprised at all to hear he's popular in the hobby. Probably the greatest defensive player of all time.
