@InspiredByJM@JohnkGK Compared to other international tourneys out there, the WBC is still pretty new (debuted in 2006) so not a lot of people/players are into it yet. But compared to this year's WBC to the previous editions (TV ratings/attendance wise), it is growing, so that's progress at least.
Beatriz Adrián, corresponsal de Noticias Caracol 🎙️ en la ciudad de Caracas, compartió pate de la celebración de centenares de venezolanos 🇻🇪 por el triunfo contra Estados Unidos 🇺🇸 por el Clásico Mundial de Béisbol 2026 ⚾ #CaracolSports#SiempreDeportes 🇨🇴

@mbxk218752 @LootenitDam @barstoolsports While building Baseball's popularity in some parts of the world so that is still worth it. The 2023 WBC Czech Republic vs. Japan drew 840,000 viewers watching on TV in the Czech Republic alone, man. That is a great accomplishment already for the WBC.

@Shawn_Spradling Man, I really want to see the celebrations there in Venezuela right now man. Shawn, if you ever see some celebration videos from there, please don't hesitate to post it🥲.
@ILoveArcade@SleeperMLB Yeah, other than Kiké Hernandez and J-Rod who also said that the WBC matters more. Manny Machado, Ketel Marte, Jeimer Candelario, Nelson Cruz, and Teoscar Hernandez also said in 2023 that winning the WBC matters more than winning the World Series.

@Jansen94P10@MLBONFOX Not always though considering that this was Team USA's first win against Team Mexico in the World Baseball Classic since March 2006, and that was like 20 years ago.
@GOCPBL@FNazis85244 Not related to Fairchild, but are there any news there in Taiwan with regards to the SK vs. Taiwan game viewership yesterday, or their other previous games? Tokyo Dome is really packing whenever they play so I'm just curious what the TV ratings there in Taiwan for this WBC.
@Ember_Rains@manuellll_yg@BuffytheB@Vinsmoke1P@JeffSkversky MLB players are already getting blocked from participating this WBC though due to insurance issues, and MLB along with the MLBPA created the WBC, what more when it comes to the Olympics that MLB doesn't even own? Not unless the IOC is willing to pay for their insurance.
@AapChutiye@WBCBaseball Hmm, if US players can be great at cricket, does that mean players from India can also be great at playing Baseball too? Considering that both is a bat and ball sport after all.
@AapChutiye@WBCBaseball Probably because cricket is not even that popular in the US. Besides, Baseball and cricket is a stick/bat and ball game anyway so there's really not much difference to it when it comes to throwing or hitting.
