World Baseball


So we are here in San Diego and are here between games. We as a team got the opportunity to go to the World Baseball Classic. The two teams that were playing were Japan and Cuba. It was a great opportunity to see different cultures play the sport I love. Some of the amusing moments of the game were watching the Japanese fans cheer, they had all sorts of chants and balloons they would blow up it was crazy hearing all the unison of the cheers for their favorite players. The Cuban fans on the other hand were flat out crazy. They had drums, trumpets, marachas as well as every other type of noise making device. They played and banged all game without stopping which was amazing in on itself. It got annoying towards the end of the game but none the less entertaining. I did get a ball from one of the players in the Japanese bullpen and had front row seats down the right field line. It was great getting to spend an evening seeing something I would not otherwise had the opportunity to do if we were not playing in San Diego.
