Baseball season comes a bit early this year in the form of the World Baseball Classic! From March 3-26, 16 International teams will compete to become World Champions. A number of Cardinals will be present and accounted for in these games. Albert Pujols is representing his home country, Dominican Rupublic. Yadier Molina joins older brother Benjie in playing for Puerto Rico. John Rodriguez will aslo play for Puerto Rico. Juan Encarnacion, a new bird on the bat, will be playing along side Pujols for the Dominican Republic. New hurler Sidney Ponson will be representing the Netherlands, along with Mark Mulder- who, according to reports, is supposed to pitch for Team USA. Ricardo Rincon will be representing Mexico. New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are set to represent team USA. Who am I rooting for? Usually, the answer would be a no brainer, but as I have Puerto Rican heritage, its a bit different. I will be pulling for all of the birds on the bat to do well. I will cheer on USA and Puerto Rico, may the best team win!
