Heard this one on the Pirates radio broadcast when they were playing the Braves:

Which future HOF player did Braves pitcher Will Smith give up a home run to in a high school game?

Probably a pitcher. Trying to think of a Pirates or Braves connection. Gerrit Cole?

This has to be a trick question, as Will Smith is 33 or 34 which means he was probably in HS from 2004-2008, and I *think* the youngest HOFer is Roy Halladay, who was already a pro by then.

Calvin Johnson retired young and he's from Georgia like Smith. That's my guess.

Winner! It was Megatron who homered off of Will Smith in a high school game. Looking at their 4 year age difference, Johnson was probably a senior when Smith was a freshman.
