The Next Ozzie Smith

I was just recalling some of the great plays I saw as a child, and many of them were from Ozzie Smith. I went to Youtube and saw one of his flips while heading onto the field. I had forgotten about them. It was a refreshing reminder of another era in baseball.

Do you think baseball still has memorable characters? It seems like we've lost a lot of the great ones, including TV and radio personalities.

Who were the memorable characters for you? And who compares today?

 

Yuniesky Betancourt is the best now that Vizquel is up in age.

Great characters? There's a great one playing LF for the Giants right now. Dude says he won't give his stuff to the Hall.

 

First pro game I ever went to...I was 7 years old at Busch Stadium, Cardinals vs. Pirates. I remember thinking it was so awesome how he ran out on the field.
