Texas Rangers reliever Will Smith might be the luckiest athlete in all of professional sports right now.
After his team topped the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, Smith officially became the first MLB player to win three consecutive World Series titles with three different teams.
That startling achievement that Smith can now claim for his own started when he helped the Atlanta Braves win the World Series back in 2021. When Atlanta traded him to the Houston Astros in August 2022, he wound up winning yet another World Series that October.
Well, signing with the Rangers in March as a free agent gave Smith an unexpected advantage to win a third straight World Series this fall.

MLB teams might be lining up to contend for Smith’s services once he reaches free agency since his deal with Texas is about to expire, just for the World Series luck alone.
He seems to have all the good baseball vibes in the world right now, and we wouldn’t be shocked if he found himself celebrating one of these again with a new team next year.
