Konami is supporting the inaugural World Baseball Classic to be held this March by
signing on as an official global partner and by sponsoring the Japanese team that's been entered.Surprisingly, "Konami, nor any other video game publisher has announced any plans for a baseball title based on the World Baseball Classic."
We don't know whether any developer would have had the rights to the names or likenesses of the MLB stars split among the different competing nations even if a game was being made, but it looks like A-Rod's in for the U.S. now. Better luck next year, non-2K devs! (EA, any interest?)
