The Los Angeles Dodgers home opener not only encompassed a World Series ring ceremony and chance to be back at Dodger Stadium, but also gave fans a first chance to hear potential new walk-up songs, which applied to Will Smith and Chris Taylor, among others.
Since Smith made his MLB debut in 2019, the speakers at Chavez Ravine have played the theme song from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Most assumed the catcher was embracing his Hollywood namesake, but it was later learned that Russell Martin was behind the ploy.
When Smith came to bat on Friday, Drake’s “Nice for What” played.
