Venezuela defeats Team USA to win World Baseball Classic

MIAMI -- When the most important baseball game in their country's history was over and World Baseball Classic gold medals dangled around their necks, the members of the Venezuelan national team took the stage in center field at LoanDepot Park and belted every word to "Gloria Al Bravo Pueblo."

Some cried with the lyrics of their national anthem. The thousands of people still in the stands to celebrate the country's first WBC title sang with them, tears streaming down many of their faces too. Once the rousing rendition was over, the winners raised their arms, looked up toward the roof and doffed their caps to the crowd. They hugged and they cried some more. They had toppled the mighty United States 3-2 on Tuesday night as heavy underdogs, and they understood the feat carried far more meaning than simply winning a tournament as their homeland experiences another round of political turmoil.

"The country needs this happiness with all the things that we've gone through," designated hitter Eugenio Suárez said in Spanish.

I'm guessing Trump won't be brining this up at any of his media events.
