2006 Topps Triple Threads Auto, Ozzie Smith #8/9.
Ozzie Smith, known as “The Wizard,” is widely regarded as the greatest defensive shortstop in baseball history. Renowned for his acrobatic fielding, lightning reflexes, and unmatched range, he redefined the position with spectacular plays that seemed impossible to anyone else. Over his 19-year career, mostly with the St. Louis Cardinals, he won 13 consecutive Gold Gloves, made 15 All-Star appearances, and was a key leader on championship teams. While his defense made him a legend, he also contributed on offense with speed, consistency, and clutch hitting, culminating in a Hall of Fame career that set the standard for excellence at shortstop.
