Why Don’t You Care About the World Baseball Classic?

Dear America,
The World Baseball Classic is about to start and I can’t find a person who cares. Why is that? I realize that the event is somewhat contrived but it features a good format that should create a lot of exciting baseball.
Everyone loves the Olympics and this is basically the Olympics for baseball. Actually, the Olympics has baseball but people are right not to care because very few quality players take part. In the 2009 World Baseball Classic, there are many stars out there who will be trying to bring a championship to their country.
If you aren’t excited, try to get excited – by any means possible. We all hate Bud Selig but this is one thing he did right. Hopefully, over time, the WBC takes off and is a baseball event everyone looks forward to every three years.
Who do I think is going to win? I like the Dominican team. If they can get decent pitching, their hitting should be able to carry the team to the championship.
Tune in and start caring.
Thanks.
