The World Baseball Classic was fun. I know that, you know that, the fans know that. And part of what made this year's WBC so fun was how much excitement and emotion you could see on the field from players of all countries. Even the members of Team USA—a normally staid bunch that has never quite seemed fully in the flow of previous WBCs—were jazzed as hell to bring home the country's first title.
But amid the exuberance and celebration of this year's WBC, old men stirred, angry and cranky about guys having fun.
