World Baseball Cup

I've been reading about this World Baseball Cup and was getting pretty excited about it, until I realised it was all on cable. Now maybe in other countries it will be broadcast on more accessible stations where the majority of people can see it. But if only a small few can even watch it, is it really going to matter? Now I understand that most Americans have cable and could therefore watch it, but I doubt the rest of the world gets ESPN2. I just think it's a shame that something this big wouldn't be broadcast on a major network. Oh well.
