What made baseball fun this week: Shohei Ohtani is more Funyuns than Fugees, Marcell Ozuna vs. Will Smith forever
By John Buhler
The Dude of the Week, man: The Marcell Ozuna vs. Will Smith rivalry sustains me
As it turns out, when you slap Chris Rock in the face, there are consequences. And the Academy Award for the Best Backswing goes to … Marcell Ozuna of the Atlanta Braves! He was running unopposed, as opposed to being opposed by pretty much everyone else in Atlanta, but Big Willie Style’s all in it, so get jiggy wit it! (Na na na na na na na!, Na na na na na na!) Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It!
Marcell Ozuna seemed to apologize after his backswing on this homer caught Will Smith's arm. You can briefly see him turn and say something before beginning his trot pic.twitter.com/WWTPM6Tv1u

Ozuna’s rivalry with Will Smith packs more pop than Ali or that movie where he played The Williams Sisters’ dad. Here come The Men in Black behind the plate to not tell Smith he’s standing too close to Ozuna. It’s too late to Apologize. In this OneRepublic, you Stop and Stare at the long ball you parked off The Cat Man, a blast as epic as Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day…
I know that Dan Mullen’s Cousin Eddie took one for the team back in ’96, but we wouldn’t be here otherwise. Who doesn’t love a good rivalry? Hatfields vs. McCoys. Humans vs. Aliens. Braves vs. Dodgers. The latter may have put Don Sutton in a very awkward spot, but he’s with Cousin Eddie now. Even if the s*****r’s full, Clark Griswold has a pool to build, not like the one blink-182 built…
It’s been less than One Week since Will Smith cocked his head to the side and said he’s angry.
