Hall of Famer and former St. Louis Cardinals great Ozzie Smith is selling his 13 Gold Gloves, 11 of his All-Star Game rings and more than 100 pieces of memorabilia from his personal collection in a November online auction, the California auction house that will be overseeing the sale announced Tuesday.
SCP Auctions of Laguna Niguel, Calif., said in a news release that Smith has decided to sell his collection "as part of his estate and family planning."
"I am honored to share a portion of the memorabilia from my professional baseball career with fans and collectors," Smith said in a statement Tuesday evening. "
My family and I have decided together which of my pieces to keep and which to share. I will forever cherish every experience associated with earning these awards that I shared with the Cardinal Nation and the baseball community. I hope those who are passionate about collecting and preserving such items will gain a similar measure of joy through their ownership."
