After 38 games it comes down to just one. Game #39. Japan versus Cuba. Who would have thought?
Congratulations to Japan for defeating Cuba, 10-6, at Petco Park in San Diego. Congratulations to Cuba for being allowed to play in this inaugural classic and for their sportsmanship following the game.
Baseball at its finest, at its purest. National pride on and off the field. You would have sworn you were at a football or soccer game.
Too bad it is all over. Thank you to all teams that participated.
