The Wizard of Oz, Ozzie Smith on The Baseball Bunch

This is one of the most popular episodes of The Baseball Bunch (which ran from 1982-85), featuring Hall of Fame SS Ozzie Smith (c. 1983)! This year is the 25th anniversary of the show ending, a show that I think should be revitalized to bring the younger generation back into the game! What do you think of that idea?

I couldn’t find a video of the show’s into, but after this two part video you’ll find a third which consists of the closing theme (but from another show).

This was one of my favorite shows growing up and Ozzie Smith is my All Time Favorite SS!

Here’s a picture of the Bunch with Hall of Famer Johnny Bench and The Chicken
