Team USA stars rip silver medals off necks after World Baseball Classic final loss to Venezuela

However, shortly after receiving them from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, several players stripped them off.

Mason Miller could hardly wait to take his medal off, doing so before he even shared an embrace with manager Mark DeRosa. Kyle Schwarber waited a bit longer, taking it off just as he got to the steps of his dugout.

Logan Webb and Garrett Whitlock were also captured with their medals in their hands, rather than around their necks.

This was Miller's WBC debut, while Schwarber was on the team that lost in the 2023 final to Japan, also in Miami.

He made the best of the opportunity, striking out Kyle Schwarber, getting Gunnar Henderson to pop up to Maikel Garcia and striking out Roman Anthony to seal an emotional victory for Venezuela.

Venezuela won its first World Baseball Classic title in the short history of the event, which began in 2006. For the U.S., it was its second consecutive loss in the title game after winning it all in 2017.
