Cracker Jack Stadium will host six of the 39 World Baseball Classic tournament games next March.
The event, a 16-team tournament sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF), will feature many of the best players in the world competing for their home countries and territories for the first time ever.
The 16 teams invited to participate in the event have been divided into four pools of four teams for the first round of play. Disney’s Wide World of Sports will host one of four Round 1 pools (six games) with teams from the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Australia and Italy.
The venue hosts more than 170 events each year, including Atlanta Braves Spring Training since 1998.
Cracker Jack Stadium, a two-tiered retro baseball ballpark, is the centrepiece of the complex.
