WBC Retrospective on Instagram: ‘We did our best’
Angels outfielder Mike Trout served as the captain of the United States national team, which fought a fierce battle in the final against the Japanese national baseball team “Samurai Japan” in the 5th World Baseball Classic (WBC). When he looked back at the WBC on his own Instagram and wrote his gratitude to those around him, he was inundated with comments from Japanese fans across the sea.
“It’s hard to say what the last few weeks have meant to me,” Trout said.
“I want to say a big thank you to my teammates, coaches, family and all the amazing fans around the world. The enthusiasm was inspiring and the WBC made it a moment I will always cherish. I’ d captain. It was an honor to be able to do that,” he wrote.
In this post, the MLB Network said, “The best ever,” and the US media “Tokin Baseball”, said, “You showed, show! I can’t wait for the next one.” Former Angels teammate and Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh sent an emoji that raises his hands, etc.
Japanese comments came in. “Thank you very much for the best game.” “I love you Trout.” It created even more excitement.” “Because you were the captain, the tournament was so lively and inspiring. I think it was given to me.”
