A Moment That Made Baseball History
Two Hall of Famers, one unforgettable moment. Ozzie Smith “Go Crazy Folks!” captures the electric energy of Game 5 of the 1985 NLCS, when “The Wizard” smashed a walk-off home run and Jack Buck delivered one of the most iconic calls in sports history. This dynamic piece blends movement, memory, and Cardinals pride with layered paint and a spot-varnished title that jumps off the canvas. A must-have for baseball fans, Cardinals loyalists, and collectors of legacy moments in sports.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Ozzie Smith “Go Crazy Folks!”
Ozzie Smith “Go Crazy Folks!” by Kyle Lucks is a tribute to one of the most iconic moments in Major League Baseball history. It captures Ozzie Smith’s unforgettable walk-off home run in Game 5 of the 1985 NLCS - a play forever tied to sportscaster Jack Buck’s electrifying call: “Go crazy folks, go crazy!”
Known as “The Wizard,” Ozzie built his career on defensive brilliance. But this particular swing, his first home run ever from the left side of the plate, lifted the Cardinals into Game 6 and eventually the World Series. Lucks brings the moment to life with expressive brushwork, rich layers of Cardinals red, and a spot-varnished “Go Crazy Folks!” text that leaps off the canvas.
More than just a painting, this is a time capsule. It’s a must for St. Louis fans, baseball historians, and anyone who understands how one moment can define a legacy. Offered as a giclée print or an original work, it celebrates the emotion, movement, and voice that made baseball history.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
