Why is called Wold baseball series if there are only U.S. teams?

Answer 1

SHUTUP SHUTUP SHUTUP

This question has been asked 100 times already.

Baseball is better than soccer, so shut it.

Answer 2

It began as a simple way to determine who was better, the older National League in the USA or the upstart American League in the USA. Since no other place in the world had any professional baseball teams, of if they did, teams that competed in a recognized league around the world, the championship series between the American and National Leagues could rightfully claim itself the World Series.

Any team in any place that can successfully petition to join these leagues can be part of the process. However, the costs of competition for teams based outside North America make this very prohibitive.

Perhaps in time, the World Baseball Classic, or what it will evolve into, will someday be recognized as the true "World Series". But I think not. This is a competition between nations and not teams. It is more akin to World Championships played every 4 years in other sports or like the Olympics.

A true World Series would have to be something like the Champions League played in soccer. Teams from various leagues around the world playing against each other.

But that is a few generations away.

Answer 3

The reason is because MLB major league baseball enjoys an exemption from the anti-trust laws and is an illegal monopolistic business that limits free competition. Such as they do not allow other teams in cities where mlb teams play. Boston used to have two teams the braves and the red sox. When the braves left town in 1951 the red sox ownership imposed a restriction against having another pro baseball team in Boston. This way the owners can and do set any ticket prices and tv setup they want all with the approval of the U S Congress !!!

Answer 4

I hate this as well. I really wish that Japan and the South American teams (yes even Cuba) were included. They should have the the winner of the american "world" series then go into a series against the winner of the Japan "world" series and the South american and some other group. It whittles down to 2 and the winner is the world series champion.

I do not want it to be a best players from the US on a team I want the yankees against the hanshin tigers if they were the winners that year.

Answer 5

Because the best players from all over the world come to America to play in Major League Baseball, which is widely accepted as the premier professional baseball league in the world. Plus, there are also Canadian teams in addition to U.S. teams in the MLB.

Answer 6

I haven't seen a Wold Series game. Exactly, how is the sport played? Does it have anything to do with mold? Did you notice the "check spelling" button you can use to see if your words are actually English, or couldn't you read the button?

Answer 7

Because the first competition was sponsored by a paper called the World News or something like that hence the world series. If it had been sponsored by a well known haemorrhoid cream it would be called the anusol series, got a nice ring to it hasn't it

Answer 8

because If any other country wants to join our Major League they can, canada already did maybe japan or someone else who's big on baseball will join next, however ticket prices would go up a little because there'd be longer flights and stuff for the players.

Answer 9

I don't think we have a Wold Series, we have a world series though.

Answer 10

Because Americans are ethnocentric, jingoistic fools.
