DUNEDIN, Fla. — The World Baseball Classic was on television in the Toronto Blue Jays clubhouse on Tuesday morning. pic.twitter.com/h1ZmiPGsl5 — Scott Stinson (@scott_stinson) March 7, 2017John Gibbons was asked before the game whether it was special to be playing Team Canada, and the Toronto manager answered with a chortle. In the end, the World Baseball Classic will have some parallels with the World Cup of Hockey in that a small group of countries will care significantly about it and the rest of the world won’t much notice. The camaraderie is amazing,” said Whitt of his Team Canada charges. “We have one purpose: to come together as a group and represent our country the best we can.”For Canada in the World Baseball Classic, that will probably have to do.
