My buddy Marcus has some connections and graciously got me this ball. He was at a dinner gala thing with the redbirds and lucked out. NICE huh!!! He wanted to cheer me up somehow and this definitely made my eyes open wide when I opened it!!! :clap::party::woot:
Nice Angel,
Did you get to see him play live?
I got to see him whizzing around a few times at Philly.
He made the game fun to watch.

It took me a minute to figure it out. The Wizard of Oz.

I heard they finally sent him to prison when they discovered his garage was full of stolen bases.

Oh yea! Quite a few times! I caught him coming out of Dodger Stadium one time and got him to sign a few baseball cards. 😀

Well here is little Ozzie trivia for you.
Ozzie was one of the first clients of the renowned aathletic sports trainer Mackie Shilstone from New Orleans. He started working with Ozzie way back when he was a player.
Ozzie attributes the long and successful career and his induction to the Hall of Fame to the diminutive Mackie.
Mackie in the past years has been Serena Williams's personal trainer and she attributes her resurrection from serious health problems and success to Mackie.
He is the "godfather" of the modern sports trainer.
Baseball Hall-of-Famer Ozzie Smith even wrote Mackie into his induction speech, as he felt the partnership earned him an additional 11 outstanding years
