INSANE: ‘Will Smith’ has won six-straight World Series is something that feels like a glitch in the matrix

There are weird stats in baseball. If you want to talk about something that feels like a glitch in the matrix, look no further than the Will Smith World Series streak.

After the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays in Game 7 to win the 2025 World Series, a player named Will Smith officially claimed a World Series ring for the sixth straight year.

Yeah, you read that right. Six. Straight. Years.

Will Smith just won his sixth straight World Series

We’re talking about a level of statistical absurdity that sits right up there with Stan Musial finishing his career with exactly 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 on the road. Or Khris Davis hitting exactly .247 four seasons in a row. Those are freaky. This might be freakier.

The Dodgers’ Version: 2020, 2024, 2025

The Dodgers catcher has now won three rings of his own. He helped the Dodgers win it all in 2020, 2024, and again this season in 2025.

His fingerprints are all over this latest title. In Game 7, Smith delivered the go-ahead home run off Shane Bieber in the top of the 11th inning, his second of the series, to give the Dodgers the edge in a 5-4 classic that will go down as one of the greatest World Series games of all time.

Dodgers Win World Series: Yamamoto, Rojas, and Smith deliver a Game 7 for the ages

Smith has now homered in each of his three World Series appearances. It’s the kind of consistency that even legends dream about. The Dodgers, meanwhile, have now pulled off back-to-back titles for the first time since the late ‘90s Yankees dynasty, adding to their total of nine championships.

The Other Guy With The Same Name: 2021, 2022, 2023

But this streak isn’t just about one guy. It’s about both of them.

The other Smith, the veteran left-handed reliever, not the catcher and not the guy who slapped Chris Rock, completed one of the most ridiculous three-year runs in MLB history. He won a World Series ring three years in a row with three different teams.

He was with the Braves in 2021, the Astros in 2022, and the Rangers in 2023. Three straight rings, three different rosters, one incredibly lucky lefty.

So let’s do the math. Since 2020, a player named Will Smith has won the World Series every single year.

2020 – Dodgers (C Will Smith)
2021 – Braves (P Will Smith)
2022 – Astros (P Will Smith)
2023 – Rangers (P Will Smith)
2024 – Dodgers (C Will Smith)
2025 – Dodgers (C Will Smith)

That’s six-for-six. Six straight seasons where the name Will Smith has been engraved on a World Series ring.

The Will Smith Era

At this point, you almost have to wonder if MLB teams are just signing Smiths for luck. It’s a ridiculous coincidence, and yet here we are, six years deep into the streak. Maybe the Baseball Gods are just bored. Maybe we’re in a simulation. Maybe it’s baseball’s cheat code for winning the World Series.

Whatever the case, the numbers don’t lie. Since 2020, Will Smith always wins.
