World Baseball Classic 18 Signup Thread (CLOSED)

Postby Newmanistan » Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:02 am

The last World Baseball Classic was unique in many ways. For some, it is a story of disappointment. For others, a story of unprecedented success.

After all of that it was fitting that a young nation who has quickly rose up the charts made it to the championship series. There, on the other side of the field, stood the most accomplished nation in history. It would be a best-of-seven, and the young upstart took game 1. Then game 2, then game 3. But the Classic was unique, remember?! That ol' standby did not back down and completed the historic comeback, and won the series in seven games.

That my friends, is what we have to top in WBC 18. It won't be easy. But how about we try? Signup here.

We will also need host bids. A valid host bid looks like this. If it does not look like this, then it will not be listed. We'll keep the bidding process open March 18.

May the signups begin, beginning with us.

The Bumblebees will be there. Of course, with the turmoil at Babbage Islands Baseball we might send our cricketers instead. At least they know about wood bats, even if they can't get over actually throwing to a batsman batter.

There's a breathless hush in the Close to-night
Ten to make and the match to win
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play, and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat.
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his captain's hand on his shoulder smote
"Play up! Play up! And play the game!"
