Tonight, in the World Baseball Classic, a big international baseball tournament the Dutch national team did what nobody expected: winning from the Dominican Republic, one of the favourite teams with some big Major League celebrities (like Pedro Martinez) in it!
For 10 innings, there was no score, every now and then it was close. In the 11th (!) inning we made it 2-1! The Dutchies are now going to the second round (quarter finals) in the tournament. The Dominicans are out.
Nobody in the US knew we play baseball in the Netherlands, now they do! To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of baseball, but the Major League (NY Yankees) is getting ready to start and I'm becoming a big fan already with these great results from our national team.
To be continued...
