World Baseball Classic

My boyfriend and I are having a lot of fun following the World Baseball Classic. Sixteen teams from all over the world are currently competing to see who will emerge as the World Baseball Champions. These games will continue throughout the month. Interestingly, they are not expected to return until 2009. The USA played out of the first round of pool play and now are playing in a pool against Mexico, Korea and Japan.
The other day the USA Team mercied South Africa 17 to 0. South Africa has a really young team and they were playing against players like Roger Clemins! I had never seen a mercy rule instituted in baseball before.
Baseball has always been one of America's cherished pastimes. I don't know a lot about the game, but I love watching the competition. Read more at:
