2009 WBC Set

I enjoyed the 2007 World Baseball Classic, despite the headaches is caused teams. Fukudome was part of the winning team, and I imagine he'll be one of several Cubs competing next time.

The tournament will switch to double-elimination in the first round.

_China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan will play in Group A at the Tokyo Dome from March 5-9.

_Australia, Cuba, Mexico and South Africa will play in Group B at Mexico City's Foro Sol Stadium from March 8-12.

_Canada, Italy, United States and Venezuela will play in Group C at Toronto's Rogers Centre from March 8-12.

_Dominican Republic, Netherlands, Panama and Puerto Rico will play in Group D at San Juan's Hiram Bithorn Stadium from March 7-11.

It's good to see Puerto Rico hosting, they need a boost after their Winter League fell apart this past year.
