baseball

Five things I learned while looking at box scores from the World Baseball Classic on Monday, March 9:

1. The Koreans had six position players in the game with the last name of Lee.

2. Stubby Clapp is still playing baseball, for the Canadian team.

3. Of the 14 players who appeared for the Italian team, only two of them had names that didn't end in a vowel, and those two--De Santis and Cooper--don't sound Italian.

4. The team from the Netherlands has a 1-1 record. Just who did they beat?

5. A guy named Ngoepe and another guy named Botha play for the South Africans. That makes sense.

World baseball. Gotta love it.
