For the second time in a row, Japan is the World Champion of Baseball. Team Japan’s great pitching, timely hitting, and immense enthusiasm for the WBC spelled victory once again for Team Japan. Once again Team USA under-achieved and showed that the world stage is apparently not worthy of the talents and abilities of many of the players who chose not to participate in this year’s WBC.

For team Japan most of their major stars participated and took the tournament very seriously. Daisuke Matsuzaka, Ichiro Suzuki, and Kenji Jojima were all brilliant in their respective roles on the team, while the only real star who wasn’t on the roster was the constantly injured New York Yankee Hideki Matsui.

Congrats to the Japanese, hopefully there will be some sort of motivation fit for the SuperStars of the USA in 2013.
