Was surprised that Israel beat Taiwan. Not sure if the Israeli players were actually all from Israel or just linked somehow to the country (Americans whose grandparent was from there kind of thing). Do people play much baseball in Israel?? I think the game was in Seoul, Korea....but the ballpark was just empty. Steve

According to Wikipedia, Sam Fuld was born in New Hampshire. I seem to recall Anthony Rizzo playing for Team Italy in a previous WBC, so I think that's fairly common.
