Take a step back in time, to a glorious era in sports posters, and one of the most beloved MLB superstars of an era! This vintage classic takes you back to 1989, when Hall of Fame legend Ozzie Smith was universally known as "The Wizard" for his unparalleled defensive theatrics at shortstop for one of the dominant National League franchises, the St. Louis Cardinals. This one features an iconic look at Ozzie patrolling the infield as shortstop during the prime of his career, under a bright summer sun in an afternoon game against the Cardinals' forever rivals, the Chicago Cubs, at historic Wrigley Field. The concentration, the form, the intensity - they could easily use this as a bronze statue design at Busch Stadium or the Hall of Fame! As with all posters in the Sports Illustrated design that spanned the years 1978-1992, this one features the best of Sports Illustrated photography, and a facsimile signature from the player himself as part of the design.

This particular poster was obtained as part of a closeout of old stock from a midwestern sporting goods store, having never been displayed on the wall, and virtually untouched since receiving the stock back in '89. This one displays as well as it would have back in the 1980s, with just some minor typical imperfections consistent with any poster purchased at that time. The picture you see here is the actual poster you will receive! Don't miss your chance at this legendary piece, baseball fans - only one available.
