It was the best game during baseball history. Japan and korea showes us the power of Asian baseball. Now everyone agrees that Japan is the best team in the world and Korea is a very strong team. Especially the Korean team is evolving very quickly. Just 10years ago no one couldn't imagine that Korea was going to be very strong team. Also, many people thought that Japan is strong but not like the U.S.A However, they played very well in the second World Baseball Classic, So they proved they are very good at baseball. Now every big baseball fan is regarding a two of the east dragons. They are going to be stronger and pursue a high quality of baseball playing. Also Cuba and U.S.A are stimulated about Korea and Japan's playing, so they will make a very strong team and take hard training. That is why, next World Baseball Classic would be very fun and interesting. I look forward to the next World baseball Classic.
