Well, two more commitments for the WBC since 6 o’clock: Chris Perez and Vinnie Pestano, both relievers (and good ones) for the Cleveland Indians.
I am happy to say that I will be pitching for Team USA in the upcoming 2013 WBC.#Honored #Humbled #Ready

Just got the second best phone call of my career. I’m going to be wearing the Stars and Stripes in the WBC. #trulyhonored #childhooddream

Oh, and Danny Valencia, who may have played had Team Israel qualified, realized a pattern in a lot of these WBC tweets, decided to make a little joke:
Joe Torre did NOT call me. I am NOT going to play in the #WBC

More tomorrow and in the coming days.
