The 2009 World Baseball Classic will begins on March 5, 2009 and will finish on March 23, 2009. Last Classic champion Japan will start off against China. The game will played in Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan.
The first World Baseball Classic was played three years ago in 2006. This international tournament will feature a large number of major league players. It will begin March 5, 2009 and finish on March 23, 2009 playing in seven venues. The tournament takes place during MLB spring training. This has caused some controversy over whether or not it is a good idea to have the Classic played due to potential injuries prior to the start of the season for MLB players.
In this year's World Baseball Classic, teams will play in a double-elimination format, meaning that teams are only guaranteed of playing two games. This change was made to eliminate the complicated tie breaking procedures which were required for one of the pools in each of the first and second rounds in 2006.
