Baseball's long wait for a World Cup-style international tournament, with the game's best players representing their countries, is over.Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association jointly announced Wednesday that the "World Baseball Classic," a 16-nation tournament featuring the world's best players competing for their home countries, will be played in March 2006.
Just think how much excitement the World Cup generates for soccer fans. There are a lot of fanatical baseball fans around the world, too, so this would be a real treat.
