Hard to understand. The ranking is obviously based on international competitions (of which baseball has few). If it was based on the quality of the players, it would be what - second? Venezuela would also be on the list. And maybe Puerto Rico too.
And still Belgium remain top...!? Done nothing in their entire history, but still top!? There needs to be a review of how the rankings are organised! You'd think Portugal being European champs, and France being world champs, would mean Belgium should at best be 3rd (not that they even reached either final)!?
