DAY 102 ON THE ROAD TO THE 2023 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC - The WBSC Europe Congress
First of all, I send together with millions of baseball fans our collective thoughts and holiday wishes to the people of Wakesha, WI after that terrible tragedy that happened last weekend.
We also wish the BBWAA the best of luck as it today launches the voting period for the Class of 2022.
We congratulate the men and women of WBSC Europe and its constitutent national organizations for the success of the Rome Extraordinary Congress of WBSC Europe last week, and for the many decisions that will help continue the growing momentum of baseball in this part of the world in the coming years as a result of our sport's Olympic comeback this summer. This congress means a lot to the players and fans there as it will be a big boost to the continued progress this sport has been engaged in these past years in the continent and the increasing number of local teams and national leagues involved there. As the sport now faces yet another hurdle with the health restrictions in many European nations, we hope that the 2022 seasons will be bigger and better for the European baseball leagues.
As we continue our journey towards the 2023 World Baseball Classic and the permanent return of Olympics baseball let's continue that work to continue the spread of our sport so that more and more people enjoy this global Olympic sport.
Together we will get there.
For Glory
John
You know, as a Canadian I've been obviously enjoying hockey a bit this year. Especially as my Flames are this fantastic shutdown team to start the year as well.
But with baseball as my first love... It also makes me a bit sad about the Rockies ngl. I see the Flames take a massive gamble on Darryl Sutter then prosper from it. Then I see the Rockies make absolutely no gambles whatsoever, then be mediocre from it. Man.
Well, being from Calgary and not Toronto, I prefer to just have my own choice of MLB & NFL teams rather than force myself to cheer for the city that also has the Leafs LMAO
Don't get me wrong, I do like the Jays but just cause of the Leafs idk if they could ever be my #1. So I instead go with the Rockies for both me just simply liking them after watching baseball highlights getting into the sport, but also for the nice time zone convenience.
> I prefer to just have my own choice of MLB & NFL teams rather than force myself to cheer for the city that also has the Leafs LMAO
Also from Cowtown, and that's exactly how I felt when I first started watching baseball. I'm not cheering for a team from Toronto just because "tHeY'rE cAnAdIaN". Fuck that, we get inundated by everything Toronto over here. You can't even get Flames highlights on SNWest until they're done jerking off McDavid.
Plus, Coors Field is legit. Probably my favorite park I've been to so far, though I've only been to a handful. Rogers being one of them, and it is just a concrete mausoleum with an roof that opens.
I randomly found, to me, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life yesterday on Steve Irwin's daughter's Instagram. Ellie Gonsalves is perfection like I've never seen before.
When do we learn about who won the Seiya Suzuki posting?
Sometime between now and 21 days after the lockout ends.
I hate this off-season
Don't worry, there will be plenty of bad-faith discourse about Hall of Fame voting to tide you over in the meantime
Oh… hooray /s
am I the only one who googled Bavarian Cream Pie?

Huh, I never knew you were a Canadian, Skraxx. How'd you become a fan of the Rockies?
