It sure seems like it. Play once every four years which copys the world cup format.

If these guys are so proud to be playing for their country, then why don't they stay there instead of taking all that MLB money?

I hope no one from the Red Sox plays, I wouldnt want my boys risking injury when they arent getting paid. I pay too much money as a fan for those tickets at fenway, I'm not helping pay their salary so they can go play in some worthless world cup wanna be scrap contest.

For a lot of countries like the Dominican Republic it is a big deal. The fans there get a chance to go bananas for their National Team against what should be top notch competition. FWIW - I like the idea of say Japan squaring off against Venezuela for the World Baseball Cup. The World Series itself doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of the globe outside of the US and Canada. Sure there are plenty of international players but they all represent a team here.
