wow, good going.

I’ve not really followed the World Baseball Classic in the past, but noted that countries such as Italy, Israel, South Africa, the Netherlands, have had teams competing.

I never realized that baseball was popular in some of these countries. I’ve always thought of Latin America and the Far East as countries outside North America as being the foreign countries where baseball is a big sport.

It’s a bit loose as to who can represent a country. For example, The Netherlands mainly consists of players from Surinam.
