A respected baseball man, but one frequently lampooned for his malaprops as a public speaker, Ozark was a minor league first baseman who spent his playing career in the labyrinthine Brooklyn Dodgers farm system. In 1956, he became a manager with the Dodgers' Class B Wichita Falls farm club and rose through their system in succeeding years all the way to the AAA level. In 1965, he came to the major leagues - and the Dodgers, now in Los Angeles - as a coach for Walter Alston. Ozark served eight years (1965-72) on Alston's staff until his hiring as manager by the last-place Phillies in October 1972.

The Phillies showed steady improvement in Ozarks' first three seasons, and in 1976 broke through by winning 101 games, a club record.

But in the 1976 NLCS, they faced one of the most powerful teams of the era, the defending world champion Cincinnati Reds, and they dropped the Series in three straight games.
