Apologies to Canada....well done BTW.
But then again 2 countries can hardly be considered as 'The World'!

Your absolutely right, and in this country we get the world speedway championships, and as far as i know, they only do speedway in Ipswich and Peterbough, not even the whole dam country. Nuts.

Because the concept was titled over 100 years ago when the Unites States was the only country in the world which played baseball and there were two distinct leagues (the National League and the American League). Hence, the team that won was the World Champion of baseball.
The reason why the name hasn't changed is because it's become well-established in the collective psyche of international sports.

Canada participates. The Toronto Blue Jays have been to the World Series. Also, there are players from all over the world in the MLB.

Because at the time that the World Series was created, professional baseball was only being played in the US. So if another country were to gain access into the American or National leagues, then they would have the chance to play in the World Series.

The explanation is that when the term "World's Championship Series" was first used in the 1880s, baseball was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially the United States, at a high level. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to "World's Series" and later to "World Series.
get how they changed "world's" to world to reflect that point?

Because the US was the first country to have organized baseball. So they called it the World Series because it showcased the best players in the world.
It's been called the World Series since 1903 and it just stuck.

Contrary to popular opinion, Canada qualifies as a country. Toronto has won the world series a couple of times.

because no different u . s . has MLB and it really is not merely an american ruled recreation. the right gamers from all over the world play the recreation in usa. Alot of global gamers in MLB are from diverse elements of the international. So if the MLB champion wins the identify they're the international Champions.

Teams from other countries (Canada) could play in it, such as the Blue Jays, once they get some decent hitting. But also players from around the world play on teams that play in the MLB.

Have you ever heard of the Toronto Blue Jays? They've won the world series twice and the last I knew of, Toronto was in Canada.
