9. Yes.
You American hater.




Actually, are there any better teams/players anywhere? The so-so folks and older guys head overseas when they can't do MLB, and do fairly well. I'd have to say this group of ballplayers are the best in the world.

12. Well, it really will be a 'World' Series, or at least a 'Hemisphere'
series once we start playing the Cubans, Mexicans and Dominicans on their own teams. 'Course, if that happens, we'll never be IN the Series. Those guys will kick the pants off of us! B-)

13. It's become a baseball tradition.
Every country refers to its championship tournament as their "World Series". It don't mean nothin' insidious.

15. Well There is a 'Miss Universe' thing
What's up with that? I've only seen women from Earth take part in that-I don't follow closely, so maybe I missed the year when they had other worldly types in the competition
