Technorati tags: American Idol Season 4, Nikko Smith, Ozzie Smith

Nikko Smith - A lucky guy, if I must say so myself.

Nikko was a contestant because someone else dropped out.  He was more than just a little exited to get that call telling him that he was in the top 12. 

And, if the name looks familiar...it is, he is the son of Ozzie Smith...you know, short stop for the cardinals...you know.

Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of Ozzie for your viewing pleasure.
