Because the newspaper that sponsored the series was called the world - hence world series, could have been the guardian series, but that name has stuck
Basketball is a wicked sport, I wish we played it here more, I think it's probably the best sport in the world. Baseball is cool, not much different in boredom factor from cricket, and American football which should be called throw ball due to the absence of using feet, is actually the nuts too - a lot better than rugger
And with cricket, snooker, darts etc... there's plenty of sports we play that the Yanks don't, and there's no problem with that, as long as we, and they, enjoy them..... I think it's sad that there's nothing to do in England but watch footie, I wish I could watch a big basketball game every night I wanted to, or an American footie game ... or something in the summer, instead of Durham v Glamorgan with 120 spectators and no atmos!

The Yanks think they are the world and therefore any sport they play must be a world series including rounders or as they call it baseball

You are not quite accurate. You are referring to baseball which is also played in Cuba, Japan and Canada and many South American Countries. The term "World Series' is a misnomer however, until all countries which are ready to participate are allowed to compete.

In fairness though, the Cricket World Cup involves only about 16 countries, which can hardly be considered the whole world now, can it?!?!

I don't know much about sports but I do know that baseball is actually a sport invented by the British, and It was called "sticks" I think. I assume your talking about baseball!

Maybe if you got a 'yank' every now-and-then, you wouldn't be so crabby! Or maybe the rudeness comes from being a guy named "Catharin"...and trust me, the 'maddog' in front of Catharin does'nt make you sound any tougher, Cathy!

A lot of countries have baseball. And beside have you ever seen how many non-American play in the Majors.
