Venezuela wins it in grand fashion against the United States, 3-2.
With the WBC over, now the MLB season can begin and Spring Training can finish up for all the teams, with many managers breathing a sigh of relief that they didn’t lose a player to injury in the classic.
Ok, I’m off my soapbox, and with that, head over to the Topps website and get your Team Venezuela cards or any other cards that are available within a limited time period.
Here’s the saying on the back of Venezuela’s card when they clinched to enter their first WBC Classic:
Every Team Venezuela fan has every reason to be excited after seeing their squad reach the first World Baseball Classic final in team history. Thanks to clutch hits by Eugenio Suárez, Ronald Acuña Jr., Maikel Garcia, and Luis Arraez, Venezuela edged out Italy in a 4-2 win. Venezuela will meet Team USA in what’s sure to be a must-watch event to crown the 2026 champion.
Until then, see you back at Spring Training.
