First to answer wins a PSA graded Ozzie Smith card.

Ozzie Smith lives in St Louis and has a sign in his front yard (actually, it seems to be on his front door).

What does that sign say?

edit: front door... not yard

    would we have to live in St. Louis to know this or is this something you can find without going there, living there, or knowing someone who lives there?
