The Baseball Bunch OZZIE SMITH Fielding, Part 2

[race1717]

Why didn't you use a ladder?

He did.

Why didn't you use a trampoline?

He did.

Why didn't you even try to pole-vault it?

He did.

Why didn't you even try this, chicken?

HUH?

I don't recall watching this episode as a kid, but that is exactly how I learned to play short stop...and just this summer I started to teach my 5 year old son to do the same. Funny because The Wizard was my fav player growing up

@dentuttle Home runs are not all there is to offense. He also had 580 Stolen bases.

[ImSoAlpha]

[TheBossNation]

damn chicken heads always be trippin...at least bossman kept the pimp hand strong

[JENDALL714]

I use to do this on my garage, but father would get upset, because it would leave a bunch of marks on the garage! Thanks Ozzie! (sarcasm)

This episode was one of the few VHS tapes I had in 1987. There was no traveling league, no fall ball, no one on one private lessons. This was my baseball teaching and I recall almost every minute of it.

I Wonder What the Chicken Would Say if he Could Talk?

[swalk813]

I remember watching these every Saturday. Fat Albert was the last cartoon of the morning/afternoon....and the Baseball Bunch came on right after. Then me and the old man would go out and have our OWN lessons. :)

Long live the Chicken! Classic!

[mangetpaid]

How come the white boy the only one get to demonstrate?

[dentuttle]

This video aired in 1982. Hard to believe.

[stl49erfan]

i might be biased as a St. Louisan, but Ozzie Smith was underrated as a total player, not just his defensive prowess. Did you know he finished with more total hits than Mickey Mantle? You can see the Wizard loved defense. Too bad those days are over. Thank you for posting this clip. I loved the Baseball Bunch.

[swalk813]

@stl49erfan

It's kinda hard to call a Hall of Famer underrated! ;)

[km9OOO]

Life ain't so bad if you live it off the wall.

[masterTaddpole]

supposedly the wizard of oz will be giving out similar tips at the sports legends challenge...noiice!

[vespermintz]

great video! can't wait to hear all about the sports legends challenge he is participating in this september. should be awesome!

[lmoore43]

These crack me up Ozzie you the man haha can't wait to see you and all the other guys at the SLC in the Bahamas

[highonfire94080]

oh man i remember watching this.... classic

[franklinpeach]

The Ozz had acting chops!

[cjn0001]

lol Ozz had acting chops, but Johnny Bench not so much

[joejoewest]

I don't know if anyone remember her, but Michelle (the one with the ponytails) was my favorite character on the Baseball Bunch.

[Crisgo3d]

I remember bouncing a tennis ball off my garage wall, it was fun

[governorgilf]

Ozzie's my favorite Cardinal of all-time. I've never seen him without a beard! I forget how little he was, but man, that guy could play shortstop like no other!

[dentuttle]

Uh, that's what makes him "The Chicken." He's dim-witted.

[autographhound2468]

Good stuff, but I don't get why the chicken just doesn't walk around the wall. Why does he keep trying to jump over it.

[seguesounds]

You're teaching your 6 year-old some pretty good language there, big guy.

[dannyschrader]

"Far out!!! Did ya see that chicken?!?!"

[brrnay]

i remember watchin these in my basement

[dart6588]

why would you watch a video in a basement

[brrnay]

well, since you ask. it was a finished basement, carpet and everything. is that wierd? we had a big screen downstairs and my parents watched tv upstairs. i dunno why i even replied to this question. strange.

[codycod10]

this is classic cheesy eighties

[BrawlFan620]

Chicken Knievel!!

[leadingha70000]
