We're taking bets that we hardly knew ya WBC...

Well the World Baseball Championship is over and Japan is the winner. Many people in the United States really didn't care. Even in baseball crazy New England where the Red Sox are still front page news no one seemed to notice it was even on. I personally think this is a fantastic idea and should be played every 3 years. The problem is that it should start November 1st and not March 1st. There are too many other things going on for sports minded people in March. Mainly March Madness, which never seems to get old. I understand that the rest of the world has a passion for soccer that we cannot match, but we supposedly had that passion for baseball. It didn't happen. I bet most people didn't even know who our starting second baseman was. The WBC is over for now and I hope that Mr. Selig finds a way to make it better the next time around. He should start with the awful uniforms and build from there.
