This year’s MLB World Series has no shortage of potential storylines.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to become the first team since the 2000 Yankees to win back-to-back championships. For the Toronto Blue Jays it’s been more than 30 years since they last competed in a World Series and they are looking to make history with a third championship.

Shohei Ohtani will be the name on everyone’s lips as the two-way star looks to end the season as NL MVP, NLCS MVP and World Series MVP. But there’s another name that has been a very consistent presence in the World Series.

If the Dodgers win, ‘Will Smith’ will be a World Series champion for the sixth consecutive season.

However it should be said that the Will Smith in question is not one player. Catcher Will Smith was in the Dodgers team that won the World Series in 2020 and 2024. In the years in between, pitcher Will Smith won three consecutive championships with the Atlanta Braves, Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers.

This year it’s the turn of catcher Will Smith to earn his third World Championship ring. He was briefly a doubt for the series after suffering a hairline fracture earlier in the postseason but will be fit to take on the Blue Jays.

“Yeah, it’s feeling good. It’s really close to 100 percent,” Smith said ahead of the matchup. “Looking forward to being out there playing and helping the team win… I feel like I could go nine innings right now and be good.”
