The semifinals and championship game of the 2009 World Baseball Classic will be played at Dodger Stadium, where such international stars as Fernando Valenzuela of Mexico and Hideo Nomo of Japan made their marks.
"Today is no accident. The Dodgers have been involved internationally in spreading the gospel of baseball for over 50 years," Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully said Thursday. "The fact that baseball has come to Dodger Stadium in so many ways, it's only natural."
