I don't know about you guys, but I'm really excited to see this event grow! I can't wait to see some of these stadiums from other countries, and I'm even more excited to see the uniforms from some of these "non-traditional" baseball countries!!

Are MLB clubs really going to let there players do this agian, espically pitchers? Didn't so many people get hurt playing 100% when they aren't in mid season form? I would love for this to work and I would love it if they did it the week between the Al and NL champs before the world series like they do the pro bowl or around the all star break to see what countrys could do in full form.
