Actually, the Woreld Series should be appropriately named the World`s
Series (or so the legend goes) because it was sponsored by the New York
World newspaper. Also, it includes Canadian teams (when we have them) and
Toronto won two years running, much to the discomfiture of the southern
empire.

It was also in Canada where the colour barrier was broken in professional
sports.
