You'll have to excuse my ignorance because even though i've watched it a few times the only thing I can remember is that Babe Ruth was famous.
That's what I was told many moons ago, but it's an urban myth. They really do think it's like the World Cup, so why no teams from Cuba and Japan?
From what I remember there may have been some association at one point, but it was after it was named the World Series.
The reason I get told when I (frequently) mention this thing about the world series, is that the players came from all over the world to compete in baseball....... which means that the Premier League could rightfully change to the World Premier League...
At least then the amount of "city don't play enough English players" stories would be less.
