[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 89129"] The World Series is called that because back in the 19th century it was envisaged that the champions of Britain and Australia would play the American champions for the right to become the best team in the world. That never came to fruiton yet the name stuck. Another school of thought says that the World Series is so called because it was at one stage sponsored by the [i]New York World[/i] newspaper. It seems crass that they call the champs of MLB, the world champs yet it does have some (small) basis in reality. [/QUOTE]
