Most strikingly, after major league clubs had proudly supplied 180 players to WBC rosters, the championship game was decided between Japan, which had only two major leaguers, and Cuba, which had none (outfielder Ichiro Suzuki and pitcher Akinori Otsuka).
It was oddly old-fashioned, too, to see in a major league park the game of pepper (in which a batter raps softly tossed balls back at one or more fielders) and infield (pre-game fielding practice in which infielders and outfielders throw to bases), as Cuba and Japan did at Petco Park in San Diego.

That's because the majority of pros are signed out of the United States, so there's a deeper pool of talent to choose from.
The reason I didn't rank a lot of pitchers high on my Top 50 list in the Handbook and BA didn't have a lot of arms at the start of the Top 100 is that there just aren't as many attractive pitching prospects as usual.

Since the Baseball Encyclopedia was published in 1969, the customary practice has been to ignore this rule and score walks just as they have been scored in every other year of major league history.
As Total Baseball notes, in the 1884 American Association, Dude Esterbrook was the official "champion," even though we now know Dave Orr hit higher; and in the 1886 AA Orr was the official "champion," even though modern research has established that Guy Hecker hit for higher average that year.
Total Baseball offers no explanation, but since with this edition TB became the official encyclopedia of MLB (which wanted the official "champions" recognized), I worry this inconsistency may be a result of that relationship.

Attempting to portray its sport as a world game, Major League Baseball reported last year that 242 of the 829 players on opening-day active rosters, including the disabled list, were born outside the 50 states.
While American-born players must go through the draft to gain employment in major league baseball, foreign-born players are signable free agents upon turning age 17, or in some cases 16.
