The Wizard

Monday, July 13, 2009

Osborne Earl "Ozzie" Smith has been out of baseball for less than 13 years and you'd think it was for 30.

The speedy and body-flipping shortstop, otherwise known as 'The Wizard', is looking more like Albus Dumbledore these days, let alone owning the same title as him.



Smith threw out the first pitch before this year's Home Run Derby in St. Louis.

The man, and get this, is merely 54 years old. I guess the great ones age early.

Sorry, Julio Franco.

He looks more like Ozzie Nelson.

Theonly thing he could flip is the bird.

Lol, that American Entertainer died in 1975 at the age of 69.

He is 54 folks, what do you expect him to look like?

maybe he should replace keith in the just for men commercial!?

Patrick, a man 13 years out of baseball and 54 years old should not be sporting an all-white haired beard. I'm sorry.

Wario has it right. He should be an avid user of the hair darkening gel...

Or as Walt Clyde would say, "the old makin it bold" or whatever he would say...
