Watch: Team USA dances around bald eagle statue following win
Kelvin Kuo / USA TODAY Sports
Team Israel had the Mensch on the Bench, and Team USA had a bald eagle statue.
The bald eagle served as a rallying symbol in the American dugout throughout the tournament, and the club brought it out to the mound as it celebrated its first World Baseball Classic title Wednesday night following an 8-0 win over Puerto Rico.
The statue was given to the U.S. team by the father-in-law of reliever Luke Gregerson.
