Jeff Bagwell Asked Ozzie Smith For Fielding Advice

"At third base, most of your plays are to your left side," he said. "At first base, there's a lot of plays to your other side. So we had a pitching change one day and we were playing the Cardinals. Ozzie Smith was on first base and he said, 'How's it going?' I said, 'I'm really struggling with my backhand.' He goes, 'Well, here's what you do. You can't field the ball deep. You have to get out in front of it.' I was basically being given a lesson from Ozzie Smith at first base during a pitching change. It's pretty cool."
