Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Sox fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
It’s undeniable, the excitement that the World Baseball Classic brings to baseball fans around the world. Legends are made, fan and player customs become more familiar, and players off of our MLB-centric radar lunge to the fore.
But there are downsides to the tournament, particularly with regard to injuries. Our White Sox, with just five active players involved in the WBC, were snakebitten, as platoon-starting catcher Kyle Teel strained a hamstring that will likely keep him out of the regular season until May.
It’s unlikely that the WBC will be going away any time soon (although you haters do have a voting option below), so when is the best time to hold this world tournament?
