The Dodgers receiver, Will Smith, is not from West Philadelphia, he is neither born nor bred, and it is unclear if the playground was where he spent the major Part of his day, but Saturday, he was certainly chillin, maxin, relax while playing some baseball outside the …. 101 Freeway? Whelp, I tried it.
Seriously, Smith made the smart decision to hit the first home run of his career in an ideal scenario for his team. At the bottom of the ninth with no one on and one out, the catcher slapped Héctor Noris' 87km / h throw on the left court line to come out of a 3-3 stalemate and leave the Phillies.
Unfortunately, no celebration related to Will Smith took place once the dinger was crushed. Personally, I was hoping for the dramatic blow of The pursuit of happiness… but he admired his work a bit before making the sweetest of bat shots and bypass the goals.
The winning mash would have even surprised even Smith, who told SportsNet LA that he was "just trying to get on a base".
Smith is perfectly entitled to enjoy this moment considering that he is not even a regular starter for the Dodgers, at least in Los Angeles. He was called Monday by the affiliate of the Triple-A team in Oklahoma City (also called the Dodgers) and played very well in his four starts. But, as LA Times' Jorge Castillo reports, he will likely return to Oklahoma City once Austin Barnes is removed from the wounded list. Even with evidence showing that he is able to play in big leagues, it may take a little while before he returns to the major leagues. But this is not likely to confuse the receiver because if anyone knows how hard it is to survive in Wild, Wild West is Will Smith.
