Dodgers Will Smith packs Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s hoodie with bubble gum in win

The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a rough month, with injuries plaguing key players and a slump in performance leading to a 10-14 record. Despite the challenges, the team showed that they can still find joy in the game, as evidenced by a hilarious prank pulled off by catcher Will Smith on star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Smith, who hit a leadoff home run in a recent game, decided to have some fun by sneaking pieces of bubblegum into Yamamoto’s hood without him noticing. The prank was captured on camera and quickly went viral, showcasing the team’s lighthearted spirit even in the midst of a tough stretch.

After the game, Smith joked about the prank, revealing that he managed to sneak eight pieces of gum into Yamamoto’s hood without him realizing. The light-hearted moment brought smiles to everyone involved and highlighted the camaraderie within the team.

While it’s unclear how Yamamoto reacted to the prank, the Dodgers’ recent back-to-back wins over the Giants suggest that the team may be turning a corner. With good vibes and a renewed sense of camaraderie, the Dodgers are looking to bounce back and regain their winning ways as they push towards another shot at the World Series.
