Jayson Stark has an interesting piece on the planned Baseball World Cup in 2005. It really is brilliant, a global baseball tournament with the best players involved, so it’s almost destined not to happen. I hate to be pessimistic, but MLB has been utterly feckless for too long; I can easily see them screwing this up. Like Stark says, Wes Obermueller vs Masao Kida for the world championship! Stark is a lot more confident than I am. I’ll believe it when I see it.
