As it stands right now I will be attending 3 games this year, one with the entire family on a charter bus trip that a coworker of mine has invited us to join (for S.U. alum), and then one game each with Fboy and Fgirl. The Fboy and I game will be a weekday matinee as per years' past. The Fgirl game will be a Friday or Saturday night where we go to an evening game and then stay overnight in a hotel and drive home the following morning. All dates TBD.

This is the first WBC that I remember actively paying attention to, enjoying, or looking forward to the games. The US squad and some of these Latin American teams are filled with respectable mixes of starts and still-active big leaguers. It's nice to watch a March game where the fans and players actually care who wins, also. It helps that Capt. USA is out there knocking balls around (no offense, Jordy).
Now starring David Wright. Zvon, do your stuff. An almost perfect fit (the 2 images). Damn, forgot the chest logo. This begs the question.... David Wright: Great American Hero?,...or GREATEST American hero? I don't have time to read the many responses I'll get so I'll put you all down for greatest. That is fantastic.
Mexico @ USA, live from Chase Field in Arizona, currently being aired on the MLB Network. And, if you're at the Fman house, served up with cold Fresca & gin and viewed on a 55" HDTV set. Yeah, that's right. Baseball, bitches.
