WBC, si comincia a far sul serio
Adesso cominciamo a
parlare sul serio dell’ “Italia” che parteciperà al World Baseball
Classic.
In attesa di sapere
alla Notte dei Diamanti quale sarà lo staff tecnico, intanto sappiamo il
calendario ufficiale del torneo, e quali sono i giocatori di Major
League che hanno dato la loro disponibilità a vestire la casacca
azzurra.
I giocatori, per
prima cosa - 14, per una rosa di 60 (da ufficializzare entro il 17
gennaio prossimo) da cui poi prendere i 30 definitivi - presi dal sito della MLB. Questi sono quelli che hanno dato la
loro adesione.
