I am in Miami to take in a few World Baseball Classic games. I managed to get tickets to two games likely to be less than competitive, but part of the fun of the first round of this tournament is seeing the very young or very (by baseball standards) old or guys who have real days jobs take on the Juan Sotos. You aren’t anticipating a close game, you just absorb the “happy to be here” vibes from all involved.
Today, the Dominican Republic beat Nicaragua 6-1, but frankly the game was not as close as the score.
