If you look at Ozzie's fielding stats, he had the best range of any shortstop I could find. Couple this with his great playmaking ability, and I say he is the best. Ordonez has nowhere near the statistical range of Smith, although he has similar athleticism. I actually got to see Ozzie play many, many games on t.v., so my exposure to him was not just ESPN highlighsts. If I did not believe that Ozzie was the best fielding shortstop of all time, I would agree that he may not belong in the HOF. But I can't say anyone was a better fielder.
