^ To further ram that point home the World Series was first played in 1903. It is the championship game of Major League baseball.
The World Baseball Classic is played against nation states. It is played every four years and will be next played in 2017.

Hoosiers..... Great movie I got to see on my last flight back to SF...
^During the season, if I had a mind to, I could be sitting courtside at the home IU arena in 40 minutes or less...
But I might be a troll in real life too...I like to wear one of these hats around town, here in hoosierland:
Wore it to the Credit Union one day to do some financial business. The poohbah there said don't come back wearing that hat again.
Going from that and the majority of foreign players on the Cubs roster, I've determined that the Dominican Republic is the winner of the World Serious...with Venezuela a close second.Originally Posted by aging one

I say that knowing full well the percentage of black Americans is very low in MLB.
P.S. (I was a Reds fan growing up not Indians).
Funny huh? Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Willy Mays, and more and more, but now the young American black prefer the NFL and NBA.
well, you could believe in childish superstitions such as these or you might remember team icarus crash-landing into the sea and drowning 5 months ago. that was quite real.Originally Posted by aging one
because mlb, despite 1/4 of its players being foreign born, is a gm for wasps. those in power would never let that happen.Originally Posted by Storekeeper
Canada is the only other country to win the World Series...555...
Maddon almost blew this thing. Weird thinking at times.
Push Chapman past his limit in Game 6, despite a big lead, important in Chapman sucking large in the 8th inning of game 7.
But pull Hendricks early in Game 7 despite the fact he was showing no real signs of difficulty.
They won, yeah, but it was really about the players hitting 3 homers. And somehow not letting 3 errors sink them.
Kluber was far from his usual self.Originally Posted by UrbanMan

I read somewhere that it was at one point called the "World's Series" as in people everywhere around the world were interested in it. And that at some point, they just dropped the "'s".
Back in the olden days, it was of course the best team made up of white American players, except for the occasional Latino, as long as said Latino knew his place.
Then you shouldn't be in this thread because that arguement has been debunked time and time again......

World Series Origins : snopes.com
The New York World never had anything to do with the World Series, however, other than being one of the many newspapers to report the results. The modern World Series (like its predecessor series waged between National League and American Association teams from 1884-1890) was so named not because of any affiliation with a corporate sponsor, but because the winner was considered the "world's champion" — the title was therefore simply a shortened form of the phrase "world's championship series."
