Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc.

Houston, Texas 77023

Dear Sirs:

     We have acted as counsel for Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc. a 
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed 
offering of up to an additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 
par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Company pursuant to the
Company's 1994 Omnibus Plan (the "Plan").

     In connection therewith, we have examined among other things, the 
Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company, and the 
relevant corporate proceedings with respect to the registration 
statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the registration of the Common Stock 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration 
Statement").

     Based on the foregoing, and having regard for such legal 
considerations as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion 
that the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company, when 
issued in accordance with the Plan, subject to the Registration 
Statement becoming effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, and to compliance with applicable Blue Sky laws, will 
be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit 
to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm 
under "Legal Opinion" in the Prospectus forming a part of the
Registration Statement.

                              Very truly yours,
