I agree.

I think a return to Canada would be really cool.

I think that's one of the best things about the tournament is the focus on it's not just one location.

It feels like Miami is becoming the location of the finals.

And that's great because we saw Korea celebrating by putting their arms out and making M's, you know, we're flying to Miami.

I like the idea of there's one place, but I want to make sure that, you know, the

the the tournament itself continues to travel the globe it's in Puerto Rico it's in Japan because it is a celebration of of global baseball and I think uh there you know it took six World Cups for the World Cup to become soccer's greatest thing well we just had our sixth World Baseball Classic and it feels like we are going in that direction so you know there's more attention on international baseball than ever before

I feel like there's a growing fan base, a type of fan that is an international baseball fan, the way there's international soccer fans.

And so I think it's just, you know, leaning into more of these tournaments.

There'll be premier 12 qualifiers coming up that will lead into Olympic qualifiers to Olympics.

You know, people think baseball, especially if you're an American Canadian, you know, it's six months in the summer.

Guess what?

You want baseball?

We can get it 12 months for you.

And international baseball is a big part about that.

So if you want more, it's always there.

I think it's huge because one of the things, if you are an American kid, a Canadian kid, and you're good at baseball and you love baseball, you know what it looks like.

You're seven years old.

You know what it looks like to dream about playing.

You're going to go play for college.
