Nobody that's got a major league team right now, that's for sure. Surely baseball has to be reinstated...right? They have room for skateboarding, they should have room for baseball.

Here's the article: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/worldclassic2009/columns/story?columnist=caple_jim&id=4007488 I don't quite know who's to blame here. Is it the big name players who aren't playing? Is it the media for not reporting enough on it? Is it the timing? I mean it has to go up against March Madness, that might be part of it in the U.S. Or is it whoever selected an out of work manager who ended up blowing the whole thing? Regardless of who's fault it is, this does not bode well for baseball coming back as an Olympic sport. I really like what Jim Caple has to say on the matter.
