Originally posted by PhlabibitYou never did, but you're trying to so now. Anyway, the World Series dates back to 1903 when the US was an isolationist backwater under the Monroe doctrine and not interested in the rest of the world outside of the Americas. The policy was then extended in 1904 with the Roosevelt Corollary. Sheez, don't you guys learn history in school?

Originally posted by squaccermanI heard somewhere that it's not called a "world series" because anybody else in the world is even remotely interested in the game but because of some newspaper or magazine or possibly brand of toothpaste that originally started the series had "world" in the name.
I hate to pour scorn on any sports event, but why do they insist on calling American sports events World Series. I know that very few other countries play Baseball and American Football, and therefore the winners of the domestic American competition may well be the best team in the world, but goddamnit I find it a little bit arrogant.
Are there any inte ...[text shortened]... o beat Australia in your big national sports. There's nothing quite like beating the Aussies...
Could be one of those urban legend type things though.

Originally posted by PhlabibitThe Little League World Series is the only sporting event that the champion deserves to be called WORLD CHAMPION. Sure all other sports have international players, but the NBA is NATIONAL Basketball Association, not international basketball. Besides, I think the US proved athat we don't deserve to be called world champs at the last Olympics
