I haven’t caught as much of the World Baseball Classic as I’d like, but the bits I have seen were not the most entertaining, but I attribute that to the announcers for ESPN2 that were calling the game between Canada and another country I forget now. It’s really impressive to see the amount of countries putting their best foot forward though. I’m more of a die hard Cubs fan rather than an all out baseball fan myself, but it’s good to see the sport succeeding around the world.
I did catch some of the game between Cuba and Dominican Republic this afternoon. What a good game. Cuba kind of got stomped on. They also played their hearts out all the way to the end. That’s due to the push to keep your numbers up in the event of a tie in the final standings. I would have loved to be apart of the constant party going on in the stands. It was like a soccer game in terms of the atmosphere, but with baseball.
