OK,
Can someone please explain what the World Baseball classic is to me? IM guessing most of our superstars could give two cents about playing in this. Kind of like the Olympics or NFL Pro Bowl.

It's like a Little League double-elimination tournament, only with MLB players and no-names instead of 12 year olds.

well, some of these baseball guys are very nationalistic, and proud to be japanese, dominican, etc. its got a totally dif feel than the olympics or the pro bowl. its more like the FIFA world cup.

This tournament is a huge deal for most people outside the US. I didn't think it would be so popular in Canada either, but Saturday night proved me wrong.
