24. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 18th Oct 2024. 13:12 Yeah, but it`s not the world although I think some Americans consider it to be. Reply |
25. Author: SusieQ Date: Fri 18th Oct 2024. 14:15 It`s called the World Series because of the players involved, not the teams. Loads of nationalities involved for every team, not just Americans / Canadians (my team is the Blue Jays)! COME ON YE PARS! Reply |
26. Author: Big T Par Date: Fri 18th Oct 2024. 14:21 I always thought it had something to do with the newspaper that sponsored it, when it was started, being called The World or something similar. Reply |
27. Author: veteraneastender Date: Fri 18th Oct 2024. 15:07 I think that`s correct Big T Par. The biggest name in MLB at present is Japanese - I read somewhere that he`s the highest paid sportsperson on the planet ....... regardless of geographical boundaries. Reply |

34. Author: veteraneastender Date: Mon 21st Oct 2024. 10:48 The Yankees and Dodgers renew their traditional rivalry, first WS pairing in over 40 years.....despite their 11 previous encounters being a record. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dodgers%e2%80%93yankees_rivalry Reply |

It took the Red Sox the best part of a century to get a WS win after they had punted Ruth to the Yankees, the “Curse of the Bambino” so called. Reply |

40. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 12:29 I was unclear as to how the bases became loaded after Ohtani was caught out - the highlights quickly glossed over Betts getting to first. The whole scenario that unfolded in that last inning was a hugh error of judgement by Yankees manager. Reply |
