"Venezuela became the second Latin American country to win the WBC and the first since the Dominican Republic was crowned champions in 2013. It was also Venezuela's first championship in any international sports competition since 1945."
"Rojas was denied coverage due to being 37 years old. Any player 37 or older is not eligible to be insured for the WBC. 'Definitely disappointed,' Rojas said at the time of being denied. 'I'm not happy with the way things are.'"
