Today is a very sad day for Cuba. It is sad because unfortunately our baseball team lost yesterday to the Japanese, who played a better game last night. But although the day is sad, in the end, very deep in the end, we feel the joy of having our team finally breaking the myth of the major leagues. Yes, we can beat them, just as easily as they can beat us. Cuba is a great team and now most people acknowledge this fact, that Cuba can play with anybody.Congratulations to Japan, indeed a great baseball team that deserved the victory just as much as we did. They played well and they got the trophy. Two island nations rewriting a game invented in North America, and giving a lesson of courage and team work.
Baseball needed this classic and we fans appreciate it. I really hope that plans for future editions of this tournament won't be dropped. It certainly proved to be the best international event of this beautiful sport, and the success and popularity of this first edition proves that baseball is good entertainment.
As for Cuba, we'll go for the title in 2009.
¡Cuba Campeón!
