It's back to Spring Training for the members of the World Baseball Classic champions, Team USA
Team USA topped Puerto Rico for its first World Baseball Classic title on Wednesday night, but the players didn't get a lot of time to soak it in -- less than 48 hours later, they were back at Spring Training, with the Major League season just over a week away.
Still, "WBC '17 champion" is a pretty cool title to bring back to the clubhouse. Pirates teammates
