The Popo 07/29/21 12:15:28 PM #7:	eston posted... IIRC it was named after a newspaper Apparently thats a myth. https://www.rulesofsport.com/faq/why-is-the-world-series-called-the-world-series-if-only-american-teams-play.html For many years, it was believed that the name came from the fact that the original series was sponsored by the New York World Telegram newspaper, thus becoming known as the Worlds Series. However, popular as this explanation may be, its not actually true and although the newspaper did report the results of the games, it had nothing to do with the naming of the competition. The real reason behind the name is thanks to Barney Dreyfuss who was the owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1903, he wrote to the owner of the Boston Red Sox challenging them to a Worlds Championship Series. The Pirates were the best team in the National League and the Red Sox were the best in the American League. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The Popo posted [p:956576610] in Why do the...

TyVulpine 07/29/21 12:41:07 PM #12:	Back then, baseball was strictly an American sport, so understandably, the winners would be considered the best team in the world.
