"2002 - Ozzie Smith is elected to the Hall of Fame by BBWAA writers in his first year of eligibility." - 2023
"If Tony Gwynn and Ozzie Smith played today under today’s scoring regulations, Gwynn would hit ." - 2022
"Also notable: Judy Johnson HOF, Carlton Fisk HOF, Ozzie Smith HOF." - 2021
"And these are not shortstops in the mold of Ozzie Smith or Omar Vizquel." - 2020
"From Shane Bieber to Ozzie Smith, these nine former college baseball walk-ons made their mark on the game." - 2019
"This year’s panel consisted of, as always, a mixture of former players, executives, owners, journalists, and historians — Sandy Alderson, George Brett, Rod Carew, Bill Center, Dave Dombrowski, Dennis Eckersley, David Glass, Steve Hirdt, Walt Jocketty, Doug Melvin, Eddie Murray, Jack O’Connell, Tracy Ringolsby, Terry Ryan, Ozzie Smith and Robin Yount." - 2018

"The class of 2017 — Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez and Tim Raines — found inspiration in Hall of Famers who came before them: Ozzie Smith, Tony Gwynn, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan." - 2016
"Prior to his stunning late-career comeback as the surprising World Series-winning manager of the 2003 Florida Marlins, Jack McKeon was known best for one thing: trading future Hall of Fame shortstop, defensive "Wizard" and baseball icon Ozzie Smith to the Cardinals." - 2015
" O'Brien delved into Simmons' fielding prowess: Simmons, widely regarded as the best defensive shortstop since Ozzie Smith and Omar Vizquel, has won the Fielding Bible and Wilson awards as the majors’ best shortstop in all three of his full major league seasons." - 2014
"This year's committee: Hall of Famers Jim Bunning, Rod Carew, Pat Gillick, Ferguson Jenkins, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Ozzie Smith and Don Sutton; executives Jim Frey, David Glass, Roland Hemond and Bob Watson; and media members Steve Hirdt, Dick Kaegel, Phil Pepe and Tracy Ringolsby."
