From the first time Will Smith joined the Los Angeles Dodgers for his MLB debut, he was connected to the famed actor with the same namesake. The connection was further prevalent with Smith using the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme for his walk-up song.
Though, that was later learned to have been the work of former teammate Russell Martin, who collaborated with DJ Severe to arrange for that. That’s not to say Smith shied away from sharing a name with the Hollywood actor.
His Instagram account profile name once incorporated the “Fresh Prince” moniker. Now the Dodgers catcher has been drawn into a campaign with Ryan Reynolds.
