That would be great. An FA Cup or Lamar Hunt US Open Cup for baseball would be super cool.Edgy MD wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 12:39 pm Agreed. It's beisbol played at a top level but delivered through a different cultural filter or filters with a different motivational stake for the players.
My US Cup™ tournament with teams representing each of the 50 states and US territories would be bigger than manbuns.
The WBC would be better if it were hosted in different countries for one. A tourney held in raucous domes in Japan or in the DR would be INCREDIBLE. I don't know that there is an ideal time to hold the perfect version of this tournament. Before or after the MLB season both present preparedness/fatigue injury worries, but running next to the winter leagues once every 4 years would probably be best. MLB, Korea and Japan all end their seasons October-ish. If they ran this tourney for 3 weeks in January, it would rock.
