Mexico are now out based on some tie-breaker about defensive runs allowed.

However, Italy and Venezuela are tied for the final spot in the next round, so they'll now play off.

Shows how I'm paying less attention to baseball these days.

USA beat Puerto Rico in the final to win their first WBC

That's got to be an omen.
Well played, Red Sox!

Braves have cut Ryan Howard. So that could be it for his career

Scooter Gennett hits four homers in a game. The first Cincinnati Reds player to do so in their 136 year history and only the 17th overall in Major League Baseball

18 short of the 400 Home Run Club - too bad he can't DH in the AL

20 years ago this week I made my first visit to the USA and attended my first baseball games.

The first three games were at Fenway Park in Boston and included the first game back as a visiting player for Roger Clemens.

I've been back to the American Colonies every year since except for 2013. I've now attended 285 Major League Baseball games (in 42 different ballparks), 33 Minor League games, 3 College games and one Independent League game.

I've had some great adventures* and met a lot of great people along the way.

* e.g. In 2000 I attended a game at all 30 MLB ballparks in 32 days, I've also been featured on the old Five baseball show and had an article written about me in the Hall of Fame Members' magazine
