I betcha Faldage'll know the answer to that, rodward. I heard it's called the World Series because it's named after the now-defunct New York World newspaper, which sponsored the first event.

Alas I do not. I always just assumed that it was typical US'n megalomania.

You mean when the American League and National league meet-- its not a world event?
American hubris. In recent years the leagues have expanded to include Canadian teams.. and there have been guest matches between american team and Japanese teams.. but the world series is not quite as worldly as the world cup.(soccer /football)

hey! not only are the Canadian teams eligible for the World serious, but Toronto won the thing in the first appearance by foreign representatives in our fall spectacle, in 1992.

Speaking of canadian baseball, did the Montreal Expos ever win the Series? I know they were in it at least once.
I'm going to go to a game on Friday. Red Sox @ Blue Jays. Go Jays!

Oh, CK, do it, do it, if your schedule at all permits. There's nothing to beat a game in beautiful Wrigley Field on a lovely warm sunny day!
July home schedule:
12-17 (16 is a night game)
24-29 (24 is a night game)
Just remember, they have to go all the way around to score a point (getting to first base doesn't count like in that other slow boring game) and bouncing it over the outfield fence doesn't, in and of itself, score any points. And inning is singular, innings is plural.

score a point
I warn you, if a certain little brother named 3.14159 sees you say that you will never have rest.
edit: it's a run.
