MIAMI - Well, the World Baseball Classic has put at least one issue to rest. Adam Dunn is passionate about baseball.
Dunn not only has been the most productive hitter for Team USA, but also one of its most energetic players, clearly enjoying the international stage.
Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi obviously was wrong when he said that Dunn disliked baseball during an exchange with a radio talk-show caller last June.
Ricciardi, who apologized for his remarks, says, "I don't want to talk about that anymore. That's old news." But Dunn's two-run homer in Team USA's 6-5 victory over Team Canada at Skydome — the Jays' home park — only made Ricciardi look more mistaken.
Dunn likes baseball, particularly winning, meaningful baseball. The question now is how he will adjust to playing for the lowly Nationals after experiencing his first pennant race with the Diamondbacks last season — and now the electricity of playing for Team USA.
"That's going to be the challenging part of it," says Dunn, who is 7-for-13 with three homers and six walks in the WBC. "I've never been on a team that nationally had expectations this low. I don't know why we can't go out and shock everyone. That's how I'll go into it."
