WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC
I have to admit that as my Sunday Day of Sports continued, sitting next to the foul pole in left field at Angels Stadium for the WBC seemed extremely far from all the action. The Lakers game had spoiled me. Plus, we were watching Mexico duke it out with Korea, not the U.S.
The starting lineup for Korea had 5 of their 9 guys with the last name Lee. It was hilarious!
We were surrounded by about 45,000 fans. About 40,000 of them were fantatically cheering for Mexico -- waving Mexican flags, banners, banging on drums, etc. Chants of "Mexico" and "Si, Se Puede (Yes We Can)" could be heard throughout the stadium.
When, Chan Ho Park came in from the bullpen to close out the 9th inning, I have never seen or heard so many Spanish derogatory comments thrown at a Korean guy before.
All in all, it was a great pitcher's duel, with Korea winning 2-1 and all of us having a good time in the freezing cold.
