Forget advanced analytics, draft capital, and payroll flexibility -- apparently, all you need to win the World Series is Will Smith.
With the Los Angeles Dodgers defeating the New York Yankees in five games on Wednesday night, a team with a player named Will Smith on their active roster has won the Fall Classic five years in a row, as pointed out by the Talkin' Baseball podcast. The Dodgers accomplished the feat in 2020 and 2024 with catcher Will Smith, while the Atlanta Braves, Houston Astros and Texas Rangers swapped reliever Will Smith between them from 2021-23.
