A funny thing happened when America's pastime set its sights on global supremacy in 2006. It turns out the rest of the world is pretty good at baseball, too. That was the enduring lesson from the inaugural World Baseball Classic, a surprisingly compelling competition that featured a dominating performance from Japan, questionable strategies from Team USA, and a whole bunch of rules that were really hard to explain. In other words, not much has changed in 20 years. The WBC is quirky, unpredictable, and more fun than you want to admit. Kind of like Josh and Mark.
