Will Smith vs. Will Smith?

MIAMI — If you want your Will Smith baseball card signed, you better send it to the right place.

One pitcher who allowed 11 runs in his only major-league game, for the Baltimore Monumentals in 1884, is listed only as “Smith.”

Nine Smiths currently play in the majors, the Dodgers' Will included. Caleb Smith pitches for the Marlins, raising the possibility of Smith beating Smith in the current series.
