This is an episode from the third season of The Baseball Bunch in 1983 featuring St. Louis Cardinals shortstop and future Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith. This episode focuses on proper techniques for fielding ground balls at shortstop, as well as introducing "Wall Ball," a game that children can play with a tennis ball and brick wall to improve their fielding. There is also a sweet highlight segment of Ozzie Smith making some amazing plays in his early years. The Dugout Wizard segment, keeping with the show's "Wizard of Oz" theme, shows numerous close plays at home plate (there's no place like home)....Starring Johnny Bench and The Famous Chicken. Also includes Tommy Lasorda as "The Dugout Wizard." This was recorded off ESPN in the late 1980s.......
