""To feel the love from all the fans, it's just cool," Smith said. "It's fun celebrating with these people, to see what the Dodgers mean to them.""
""That's crazy," Smith said, when informed Wednesday of the history his 11th-inning swing made. "I never would have thought that [would happen]. But yeah, just glad I was able to get it done for the guys, and for the city ... The passion that these fans have, that's what motivates me most.""
""We want Will!""
Will Smith hit the game-winning home run in the 11th inning of Game 7 of the World Series, the first extra-inning, game-winning homer in a seventh game. He received an outpouring of fan adoration at a Raising Cane's event near the Hollywood Walk of Fame, taking a makeshift stage amid chants of "We want Will!" Smith has been a three-time All-Star and a generational talent at catcher but often stood in the shadows of bigger names on the Dodgers. The historic swing elevated his place in franchise history and energized the fan base.
