Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Will Smith has won 3 straight World Series titles…
The 34-year-old then spent this season with the Rangers and had two appearances in this year’s World Series.
“I only imagined maybe winning one,” Smith said. “But I’m not going to complain.”
Left-handed reliever Will Smith (not to be confused with the Los Angeles Dodgers catcher or the actor/rapper) finished the season sipping World Series champagne for the third straight year on Wednesday, making some wild history in the process.
Smith is the first player in not just MLB history but also across all of the big four men’s North American sports leagues to appear in at least one game for three different championship-winning teams in three consecutive seasons, according to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs.
The 34-year-old Smith played for the Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers and San Francisco Giants for the first eight years of his career. He left the Royals two years before they won the 2015 title and joined the Giants two years after their last title in 2014. He finally hit paydirt with the Braves, with whom he signed a three-year, $39 million deal ahead of the 2020 season.
Rangers relief pitcher Will Smith became the first player in MLB history to win three World Series in a row with three different teams.
Smith — a 2019 All-Star selection who grew up in Georgia — was a key piece of Atlanta’s bullpen in 2021 when the Braves won the title, throwing four scoreless innings during the World Series. He was also on the Houston Astros’ roster for last year’s Fall Classic win, though he didn’t appear in a game.
