The atmosphere in this tournament is second to none, and moments from past events quickly surfaced back on social media.
On this #IndependenceDay never forget the 2017 World Baseball Classic and the time Nolan Arenado slid headfirst into the first base bag on a dropped third strike to ensure Ian Kinsler would score the tying run for @USABaseball pic.twitter.com/XpxAVzEMF9

March 2023 will feature more must-watch games with the return of this magnificent tournament, and everybody is thrilled to see it back in action.
Let’s hope the MLB stars lineup to play in this tournament again. After all, Christian Yelich raved about his time playing back in 2017.

Good things come to those who wait, right? Well, MLB fans have been waiting a long time for this return. Japan has won twice, and the Dominican Republic won in 2013. But, the United States is the reigning champions and will try to repeat.
