World Baseball Classic, celebrating the worldwide love of baseball

The world loves baseball!

The world loves baseball!

It was just announced that tickets for Round 1 of the World Baseball Classic are now on sale. A quick look at the teams and venues show how baseball is loved, and played, around the world.

In March 2009:

  • Teams from China, Chinese Taipei, Japan and Korea will play in Tokyo.
  • Teams from Australia, Cuba, Mexico and South Africa will play in Mexico City.
  • Teams from Italy, the United States, Canada and Venezuela will play in Toronto.
  • Teams from the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, Panama and Puerto Rico will play in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I had the pleasure of being in Puerto Rico for the first World Baseball Classic, an incredible experience.

There’s a New Game in Town…

The National Baseball Hall of Fame has announced that it will host the Hall of Fame Classic. A great idea, it’s sure to be a wonderful weekend in Cooperstown, for visitors and residents alike. Details are being worked out to make this a spectacular way to celebrate Father’s Day and the first day of Summer!

According to AP

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Baseball’s legends and old-timers will play in a new Hall of Fame Classic game beginning in 2009.

The inaugural Hall of Fame Classic will be held on Father’s Day, June 21. The game replaces the Hall of Fame game, which was discontinued this year after 68 years.

The new game was announced Monday by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.

Officials say the inaugural Hall of Fame Classic will feature four Hall of Famers and more than 20 other retired major leaguers. Along with the exhibition game, there will be a weekend of activities, including a hitting contest and autograph sessions.

Enjoy the taste of Cooperstown anytime with baseball cookies and gifts from the Cooperstown Cookie Company.

Best,

Pati
