Japan: World Baseball Champions...Again


IT'S NO COINCIDENCE that Japan has won the first two World Baseball Classics. These guys are as fundamentally sound as they come...and then there's Ichiro. With the score tied 3-3 in the 10th inning, Korea opted to pitch to him despite the Japanese having two men in scoring position AND first base open. So after fouling off several pitches, including one that bounced in the dirt, Ichiro got his pitch. A split second later I saw this giant fuzzy ball coming towards the screen—a sharp, two-run single into centerfield, and Team Japan would go on to clinch another world title.
