Samurai Japan 2023 World Baseball Classic Roster

With the World Baseball Classic kicking off in a couple of days, I wanted to do a somewhat quick post showing baseball cards of all the players on the Samurai Japan roster.  Well, ALMOST all the players - since I don't have any MLB cards I don't have any cards of Lars Nootbaar.  My goal was to show all the players bedecked in National team garb but there were four players who I didn't have Samurai Japan cards for.  There were a couple of sets - the 2020 Calbee Samurai Japan set and the 2022 Topps Now Samurai Japan team set - that came in very handy for this exercise.
