Will the World Baseball Classic ever be as popular as The Soccer World Cup, Olympic Basketball, or other high profile International sporting events? Only time will tell. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t enjoy the last installment of the classic or that we aren’t looking forward to this year’s tournament. With that, I give you my bold predictions for the 2009 World Baseball Classic which gets under way on March 5th.
-The United States will reach the semifinal only to be knocked out by the Dominican Republic.
-Chinese Taipei, The Netherlands, South Africa, Italy, and Australia will combine to win 1 game (Someone has to win when South Africa and Australia squares off against one another).
-Bernie Williams will go deep for Puerto Rico.
-A big name MLB pitcher will go down with an injury.
-Japan will repeat as tournament champions.
