Fantasy Talk: Men’s National Baseball Team

Recently I wrote that it’s time for baseball to return to the Olympic Games.

Let’s have some fun with it.

It’s the gold medal game, and it’s Canada versus the reigning Olympic Champions (2008) South Korea, who is in your starting lineup?

Here is what I think it should look like:
