I don’t think anyone could have imagined that the World Baseball Classic would have been as successful as it was. There was that small part of me that wanted Cuba to win it all, but I found myself cheering for Japan a lot more.
If it weren’t for the Yokohama Bay Stars game that I went to while in Japan, I probably would have never rediscovered a passion for baseball. And the classic was some really good stuff. Now I’m ready for opening day.
