Sorry. Is this post not about baseball anymore?
Is it now about what obscure sports at which the British may be better?
If so, I completely concede to Soccer, Cricket, Rugby, Archery, Spank the Cat, Twosies, Rumperniffling or whatever. I bow to your dominance in these sports with no questions or references to the contrary.
At the time the term "World Series" was coined, it was a contest between the best baseball teams in the world, mostly because nobody else had a team. Okay, so the world has changed and more countries have teams. But the majority of the world's best baseball players play in the United States. Arguably, the World Series is still the measure of the best baseball club in the world and the definition is correct in that respect.
The World Baseball Classic is another matter. It is a measure of the skill of National teams.
