Ozzie Smith belongs.
Since Ozzie Smith is considered by many to be the greatest defensive player of all time ...
The writer is simply wrong about Ozzie Smith. He was the greatest defensive shortstop ever to play the game. By a lot. And Shortstop is the most important defensive position.
The number of hits that he turned into ground outs because of his remarkable range far exceeded the number of at-bats wasted because of his relatively poor hitting skills.
No joke! Not all hall of famers have to hit .300 lifetime, great fielders get there too, just like pitchers!
