Yeah, but it`s not the world although I think some Americans consider it to be.

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)!

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.

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.

I`m sure you`re dying to tell us what the distinction is and how it`s relevant to the `World` Series of baseball.

WS going to the new Bronx Zoo after the Yankees saw off Cleveland.

Unlikely that the Mets can make it a local affair though.

The Yankees and Dodgers renew their traditional rivalry, first WS pairing in over 40 years.....despite their 11 previous encounters being a record.

Yankees with a 8-3 winning record in World series matches


Set in the days when NYY dominated so much that other clubs suggested they should be handicapped ?

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.

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.
