On this Tuesday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page, we kick things off with The Big Story as the stage is set for the World Baseball Classic Championship between Team USA and Venezuela in Miami. After a dramatic 2-1 semifinal win over the Dominican Republic, the United States now faces a red-hot Venezuelan squad in what could be a defining moment for the sport. Jason breaks down why this matchup is critical for baseball’s global growth — no matter who wins. Part 2 of The Big Story focuses on a developing situation involving an Alabama basketball player no longer with the team ahead of the NCAA Tournament.

The longtime journalist and baseball fan shares his perspective after attending the semifinal between Italy and Venezuela and gives insight into what makes this tournament so important to the future of the game.
