In terms of Japan, they are legit. They were favored to win the tournament and obviously did not disappoint. They have tons of MLB talent and the players the have in the Japan League could also play on a MLB roster.
I am going to channel my inner Chico. Baseball is great. It is like the perfect woman. It is there every night during the season. There is a little bit of action every night and it doesn't care whether you show up or not.

Interesting, thanks. So WBC still has a long way to go in terms of clout, but level on the field ain't that far off behind the MLB?
