          This year's World Baseball Classic was a lot of fun, with stars from MLB and beyond strutting their stuff, bat flips in abundance, and a pretty good share of upsets.

          One thing that has been extremely cool to watch is the passion on display. Teams at the WBC really seem to care, and each twist of fate is met by seemingly everyone getting emotional and pumped up. Teams have started to develop some incredible celebrations -- and with the wide variety of cultures on display, no two are quite alike.

          Here are some of the best we've seen at the WBC:

          USA vs. Japan -- Ohtani strikes out Trout for the title

          USA vs. Japan -- Turner does it again

          Mexico vs. Japan -- Japan roars back to win it

          Mexico vs. Japan -- Dugie gets 'em on their feet

          Mexico vs. Japan -- the bench comes out for Yoshida

          Mexico vs. Japan -- robbing homers and signing autographs

          USA vs. Venezuela -- intensity defined

          Eddie Rosario's jumpshot

          Mexico -- home run sombrero

          Dominican Republic -- home run sash

          Great Britain -- tea time
