MIAMI -- Even after Japan beat the United States in the final of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) on Tuesday night in Miami, the festivities continued outside loanDepot park. Joining the fans rooting for Samurai Japan and the U.S. team were supporters of teams that had earlier been eliminated from the two-week tournament.
A 50-year-old customs official from the Dominican Republic said he was moved by Japan's come-from-behind sayonara victory against Mexico in the semifinal.
"The final as well was a good game, with nothing to complain about," he said. "Japan showed us some splendid baseball."
