Ichiro Defeats Communism

The Japanese team, despite being one US-win away from elimination a week ago, beat Cuba in a rather sloppy game to win the inagural World Baseball Classic. The WBC has some kinks to work out, especially the timing and the rather grumpy reaction many of the MLB clubs had to it. Still, it was always interesting and frequently thrilling. I hope they keep it going.
