Why is it the baseball "world" series?
Have always laughed at how the americans call their baseball series the "world series" when it's just a series that only the americans play! Well agree that Japan also plays the game but is not a reglular at the series. Figured just recently that it is called so because the first ever baseball series was sponsored by a newspaper called "The Daily World" and so that series was named "World Series". Well they decided to stick to that name, which does not logically make any sense anymore. But that's what it is and will be, the world series!
