The espresso machine that became a symbol of Italy's celebrations during the World Baseball Classic has found a new owner. Sold for $16,510 through MLB Auctions, this machine not only brewed coffee but also witnessed Italy's victories in the group stage against the United States and in the quarterfinals against Puerto Rico.
Although the team fell in the semifinals to Venezuela, the machine remained a good luck charm. The Italian team took the machine everywhere, from the bus to the dugout, making it an essential part of their routine.
