First round WBC sites finalized

MLB finally announced the first round sites for next year's World Baseball Classic.

  • Tokyo - China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan will play at the Tokyo Dome starting on March 5, 2009
  • Mexico City - Australia, Cuba, Mexico, and South Africa will play from March 8-12 at Foro Sol Stadium.
  • Toronto - Canada, Italy, United States, and Venezuela will play from March 8-12 at Rogers Centre.
  • San Juan - Dominican Republic, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, and Panama will play from March 7-11 at Hiram Bithorn Stadium.

The Dominican Republic federation earlier had threatened to boycott the tournament if not given the right to host first round games. I haven't found reaction from the Dominican Republic yet.

According to Wikipedia, the stadium in Mexico City is 417 ft to center and 326 ft and 333 ft down each line.
