So I gather for the most part that the FIFA World Cup, Euro Cup, FIBA World Cup, and other international tournaments don't get nearly the amount of grief the WBC is getting from narrow-minded Major League Baseball fans.

The ironic part is that a great portion of MLB players that play for the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Phillies, etc. are foreign born.... and without their participation, the Major Leagues would be much thinner on talent.
