- Abstract
The article focuses on the victory of Japan in the World Baseball Classic. The professional baseball league of Japan has the second longest history in the world, second only to the U.S. Major League. There had been little expectation that Japan would be the best team in the world in the tournament. A new television record was set when the final game was broadcast live, with 56% of viewers tuning in at the moment the game came to an end.
