Are you ready for an intense two weeks of watching the world's best baseball players from around the world play? Well, anyone who knows anything about baseball knows I’m talking about the World Baseball Classic, which is arguably the biggest baseball event of the year.

And for those who don't know what the classic is, it’s when each country's best player competes for a chance to win a classic title. While Japan has the most titles, with two championship trophies, the United States became the most current champions after scoring the title in 2017. Personally, I’m rooting for the Dominican team, even though it’s not looking too good for them so far.

Even though the Baseball Classic only lasts for two weeks, it is still action packed with many ups and downs and worth the watch.
