They are my favorites. Allie seems really cool and personable and Steve coached the Indians at one point so that automatically puts him on my good list. This Team FTW!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If the Indians upcoming season is going to be as bad as many predict, at least the team will be able to offer some off-the-field entertainment during the course of the year.

Indians new third base coach Steve Smith and his daughter Allie will be one of the 11 teams competing in the upcoming "Amazing Race.' The race around the world debuts on CBS on Feb. 14 with Chile as the first stop. Smith and his daughter competed in the race last year, but they can't reveal how they did.

Top prize is $1 million.

Smith said he and his daughter auditioned for the show with the thought of bringing them closer together. When asked by the producers what would be their biggest challenge in following clues that take them around the world, Smith said, "not getting lost because we tend to get lost in our own neighborhood."

When asked what she hoped to accomplish by running the race, Allie, 23, said, "To meet all kinds of people around the world and have tons of fun with my Dad. I'm planning to have The Amazing Race theme song as the father/daughter dance at my wedding."

The Indians hired Smith as their third base coach and infield coach after last season. He was the Phillies third base coach when they won the World Series in 2008.
