Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

The '''Baseball World Cup''' ('''BWC''') was an international [[baseball]] tournament for national teams around the world, sanctioned by the [[International Baseball Federation]] (IBAF). First held [[1938 Amateur World Series|in 1938]] as the '''Amateur World Series''' ('''AWS'''), it was, for most of its history, the highest level of international baseball competition in the world. Even after it was supplanted in this regard in {{by|2006}} by the modern [[World Baseball Classic]] (WBC), the Baseball World Cup was still considered by the IBAF to be a major world championship, along with the WBC and the [[Baseball at the Summer Olympics|Summer Olympic Games]].<ref name="ibaf world ranking notes">{{cite web |url=http://ibaf.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Files_-_world_rankings/4221-IBAF_World_Rankings_Notes.pdf |title=IBAF World Ranking Notes |date=13 January 2009 |access-date=23 June 2009 |publisher=International Baseball Federation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190509034100/http://ibaf.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Files_-_world_rankings/4221-IBAF_World_Rankings_Notes.pdf |archive-date=9 May 2019 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="olympic exclusion">{{cite web|url=http://www.olympic.org/uk/organisation/commissions/programme/full_story_uk.asp?id=1437|title=Singapore 2005: 2012 Olympic Sport Vote|publisher=International Olympic Committee|date=11 July 2005|access-date=23 July 2009}}</ref>

After the 2011 tournament, the Baseball World Cup was discontinued in favor of an expanded World Baseball Classic; the [[World Baseball Softball Confederation]] (WBSC) – successor to the IBAF – now [[World Baseball Classic Inc.|organizes]] the WBC and awards its winner the title of "World Champion."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://wbsc-bucket.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/event+media+book/201909_WBSC_premier12_magazine_WEB.pdf |title=Premier12 2019 Official Program - Page 6 |work=WBSC |access-date=26 November 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191127012323/https://wbsc-bucket.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/event+media+book/201909_WBSC_premier12_magazine_WEB.pdf | archive-date= 27 November 2019 }}</ref> Additionally, the WBSC sanctions two new tournaments: the biennial [[23U Baseball World Cup]] (begun as the 21U Baseball World Cup in 2014) and its quadrennial, flagship tournament, the [[WBSC Premier12]] (starting in [[2015 WBSC Premier12|2015]]), which involves the twelve best-ranked national teams in the world.<ref>[http://www.ibaf.org/en/news/2011/12/03/the-congress-approved-a-new-format-of-internationa/cd3e0ea8-a62d-4c01-85f5-4c2aafba5119 The Congress approved a new format of International tournaments]</ref> 

==History==
The Baseball World Cup was held 38 times; the final one was in [[2011 Baseball World Cup|2011]] in [[Panama]]. The first tournament, held in [[1938 Amateur World Series|1938]], featured only two teams, but the last tournament included 22 participants; the previous two featured 16 and 18 teams (in [[2007 Baseball World Cup|2007]] and [[2005 Baseball World Cup|2005]], respectively). The World Cup was originally called the Amateur World Series, until the tournament in [[1988 Baseball World Cup|1988]]. 

The idea of a baseball competition for national teams was championed by International Baseball Federation (IBF) president [[Leslie Mann (athlete)|Leslie Mann]]. After managing to include baseball as a [[demonstration sport]] at the [[Baseball at the 1936 Summer Olympics|1936 Berlin Olympics]], Mann sought to organize an international tournament in 1937 between the national teams of the [[United States national baseball team|United States]] and [[Japan national baseball team|Japan]]; this plan was derailed by the outbreak of the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]] that same year.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Guthrie-Shimizu |first1=Sayuri |title=Transpacific Field of Dreams: How Baseball Linked the United States and Japan in Peace and War |date=2012 |publisher=University of North Carolina Press |isbn=9780807882665 |page=171 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Dx2i3f5k6MkC&dq=leslie+mann+%22amateur+world+series%22+-wiki&pg=PA171-IA16}}</ref> Instead, Mann wrote to [[John Moores (British businessman)|John Moores]], president of the British National Baseball Association (the precursor to the modern [[British Baseball Federation]]) to organize a tournament between the U.S. and [[Great Britain national baseball team|Great Britain]] teams. The 1938 "John Moores Cup," as it was originally called, would be retroactively recognized as the [[1938 Amateur World Series|first Amateur World Series]].<ref>{{cite book |author1=Leslie Mann |author1-link=Leslie Mann (athlete) |title=Baseball Around the World |date=1940 |pages=19–26 |publisher=International Amateur Baseball Federation |url=https://cdm16122.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15370coll2/id/20987/hawa}}</ref>

Mann, along with Cuban sports administrator [[Jaime Mariné]], helped turn the Amateur World Series into an annual event in [[1939 Amateur World Series|1939]], this time held in Cuba.<ref>{{cite web |title=WBSC Headquarters: After decades of relocations, Switzerland is now the permanent home of international baseball |url=https://www.wbsc.org/en/news/wbsc-headquarters-after-decades-of-relocations-switzerland-is-now-the-permanent-home-of-international-baseball |website=WBSC.org |publisher=World Baseball Softball Confederation}}</ref><ref>Mann, p. 26</ref> The first and second tournaments featured only two and three national teams, respectively, but seven participants were invited to the [[1940 Amateur World Series|1940 edition]] and the pool would only expand from there.

[[File:Wereldkampioenschappen honkbal in Haarlem tussen Cuba en Puerto Rico Lourdes G, Bestanddeelnr 933-7144.jpg|thumb|[[Lourdes Gourriel|Lourdes Gurriel]] at the 1986 AWS]]
For much of its early existence, the competition was limited to the nations of Central America and the Caribbean; the [[United States national team|United States]] withdrew early from the [[1942 Amateur World Series|1942 series]], and would not return until [[1969 Amateur World Series|1969]]. The next edition, in [[1970 Amateur World Series|1970]], saw two European national teams ([[Italy national baseball team|Italy]] and [[Netherlands national baseball team|the Netherlands]]) participate for the first time; in 1972, [[Japan national baseball team|Japan]] became the first Asian country to participate in the global baseball tournament.

Until 1998 the competition was limited to strictly amateur players. After [[1998 Baseball World Cup|1998]], professional [[minor league baseball|minor league]] players competed, but [[Major League Baseball]] did not allow its players to participate. In the months leading up to the high-profile first [[World Baseball Classic]] in [[2006 World Baseball Classic|2006]], many commentators heralded it as a "Baseball World Cup", perhaps not realizing that a tournament of that description already existed and had for almost seventy years. 

However, the [[2006 World Baseball Classic]] was the first international baseball tournament to include active players from the top-level major leagues around the world — namely [[Major League Baseball]] and [[Nippon Professional Baseball]] — making it a closer equivalent to the world cups of other sports, which commonly include players from the most prestigious professional leagues, than to the mostly-amateur Baseball World Cup.

==Trophy==
The champions of the first several Amateur World Series tournaments were presented the John Moores Trophy, named in honor of [[John Moores (British businessman)|John Moores]], a sponsor of the British Baseball Federation and future [[Everton F.C.]] executive.<ref>{{cite web |title=Amateur World Series |website=WBSC.org |publisher=World Baseball Softball Confederation |url=https://www.wbsc.org/fr/organisation/history/international-baseball}}</ref> Like the [[Stanley Cup]], it was a single trophy passed from winner to winner, with the names of the world champions engraved; however, only the winners of the 1938, 1939, and 1940 editions are engraved ([[Great Britain national baseball team|England]] and [[Cuba national baseball team|Cuba]]); the United States withdrew from the AWS in [[1942 Amateur World Series|1942]], and the trophy was apparently not awarded after that.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Leslie Mann |author1-link=Leslie Mann (athlete) |title=Baseball Around the World |date=1940 |publisher=International Amateur Baseball Federation |url=https://springfieldcollege.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/collection/p15370coll2/id/20987/page/0/inline/p15370coll2_20987_0}}</ref><ref name="auction">{{cite web |title=Lot #52: THE JOHN MOORES TROPHY (1938) |url=https://catalog.scpauctions.com/the_john_moores_trophy__1938___a_sterling_silver_m-lot28556.aspx |website=SCP Auctions |access-date=5 March 2024}}</ref>{{efn|The John Moores Trophy does reflect two tournaments in 1950 and 1956, won by the United States and Hawaii, respectively, but these were not Amateur World Series.<ref name="auction"/>}}

When [[Jaime Mariné]] succeeded [[Leslie Mann (athlete)|Leslie Mann]] as president of the IBF during the [[1940 Amateur World Series]], he renamed the trophy the ''Copa Presidente Batista'', after [[Fulgencio Batista]], the president of Cuba.<ref>{{cite web |title=THE HISTORY OF IBAF |url=https://sportingscribe.com/league/841/international/baseball/international-baseball-federation |website=Sporting Scribe |access-date=5 March 2024}}</ref> Mariné had participated in the [[Cuban Revolution of 1933]] that brought Batista to power and had organized the dictator's Military Intelligence Service in 1935.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Riccardo Schiroli |title=The Game We Love |date=2019 |publisher=World Baseball Softball Confederation |page=30}}</ref>
