Today I attended my second and final WBC game, and once again I picked one whose result was never seriously in question — and one that did not have significance to the standings. But does it matter? Baseball is fun, and international baseball is even more fun.
I came to the stadium early both to soak up atmosphere and because I had figured I would get a very early start on Chanukah shopping by scooping up Team Israel swag. I had not found any on Monday and was told to come back because they’d get more in. Well, they did not get more in, there was pretty much not a single Team Israel item for sale anywhere in the stadium.
