It is coming, whether you like it or not. The World Baseball Classic starts on March 5th, 2009. The four pools of round one will take place in the following venues: Japan, Mexico, Canada, & Puerto Rico. Round two will be in San Diego & Miami with the Finals set to take place in Los Angeles.
As a baseball fan I think the idea is cool, but the timing sucks. Also, it feels like the whole Mets' team is playing for one country or another. The law of averages says that it is impossible for the event to take place without at least one major injury. I just pray to god that it isn't anyone on the Mets. Not that I wish injury on anyone, just especially not the Mets. Why don't they do this in December in some warm country as make it like an off-season vacation/Pro Bowl thing?
Stay healthy 2009 Mets. I cannot wait until its over.
