Bryce Harper on congratulating Team Venezuela on the field: ‘I want to win gold, just like anybody else. But at the end of the night, man, they did it. They won. I mean, all, you know, all the congratulations to them and what they did, and they fought hard, they played a great game. I mean, I got nobody, nothing but respect for them.
The WBC provided incredible & emotional moments all tournament long. Watching Venezuela play with the passion & energy they did is something that makes this tournament what it is. Every country brings their own style of play to the field- there was no denying the palpable charisma & desire Venezuela played this championship game with. A well deserved victory for team Venezuela!🇻🇪 #WBC2026

Steve Kerr began his press conference by remembering the late Carl Steward and Dave Newhouse, two legendary scribes for the Oakland Tribune who recently passed away.
Just gutted by the loss of Carl Steward. When we first became colleagues, I wanted to be as versatile as he was. Had the soul of the East Bay wired. No better example than the area's love affair with Ken Stabler . . . mercurynews.com/2016/02/06/ken… #mercnews
