Arenado told the St. Louis Dispatch that he couldn't wait to represent the United States in the tournament once again:“When you play in a regular major-league season, you hear the national anthem every day and it’s awesome, it’s amazing“But sometimes you almost take it for granted because you hear it every day. When you wear USA across the chest and then you hear the national anthem, it hits a little bit differently. I’m just proud to represent my country. “It’s an honor. I love this country. I’m very fortunate that I get to play Major League Baseball here, make the money that I make here, have my family here. We get to do a lot of things I’m very thankful about.”
