I understand to an extent with the question. I love the sport coming from Kansas City but the only way this will ever change is when the World Baseball Classic becomes adopted by the MLB and teams will play their best players. A lot of the best players however refuse to play because they are concerned that they will lose a lot of income if they are injured while doing so. What would be interesting to see is the World Series team playing against the championship teams from all the other countries where they have competitive leagues. That would also mean that players from other countries who may be on the American team must continue to play on their contracted team against their countrymen otherwise it becomes more like an Olympic team.

Because Major League Baseball is the premier baseball league in the world & consists of the best players in the world. Just because the teams are all from the US & Canada doesn't mean the players are.

Because America thinks they are the world! The story about it being sponsored by the New York World newspaper is an urban myth.

Because back when it started all those years ago, it was sponsered by a newspaper called the Daily World or something. Bit like Soap Operas called so because they were sponsered by soap companies!
Okay it's not named after the newspaper so can people stop IMing me abuse and tell me what the ACTUAL answer is?!

Because It's an American sport, let the rest of the world play their soccer so they can feel happy.
