Cuz It's the O.G. D-O-Double-G, W-B-C

In short, SFist's official stance is this: Play ball! And onto the conversation:

SFist Jon: World Baseball Classic-- brilliant idea or dumb-ass idea?

SFist Jake: Brilliant idea. Are you kidding? When I watch the World Cup, or when I find myself in the midst of a crowd of people watching the World Cup and hanging on every pass, or whatever soccer/football fans can be said to hang on, or celebrating a national team victory, I am jealous of soccer/football fans. It's like the NCAA basketball tournament on a global scale, only with the best players in the world. Now, imagine that kind of event (or, for a more recent memory, say the Winter Olympics), only centered around a sport you understand and care about.

I wish I had the time/money/initiative to go to San Diego for a couple games--I think it's gonna be great.
