This is a lot bigger, especially for Baseball Canada. The WBC was an exhibition series really. This is the Olympics. And plus that win didn't mean anything, cause they choked in the games against Mexico and South Africa and didn't even make it out of the first round.

Beating the Americans is in no way some "miracle". This country has produced enough talent to be able to beat any team in the world on any given day. And Canadian baseball is only getting better. More major leaguers, more players drafted, more players in college.
