[QUOTE="Lewis526, post: 3832345"] That's what the World Baseball Classic is for. My only problem with that name is that an event that's been held once shouldn't be called a classic. Since "World Series" was already taken, it's forgivable. How many Latin Americans and Koreans play in the Japanese leagues? How many Japanese play in the leagues in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Korea, or China? When the best players currently coming to the the MLB start traveling elsewhere to play in other leagues, instead of the best from around the world coming to the MLB to play, then I'll start to wonder about the legitimacy of the title "World Series." There's no doubt that there are piles of great players not playing in the MLB, but until I see an international league (not a short tournament) drawing teams from around the world (not just the USA and Canada), I won't mind calling the MLB's championship the World Series Championship. Nothing else fills the role. Edit: Oh yeah, to keep this on topic - I was rooting for the Cubs in 6, but since that has failed, I'd like to see the Rockies win. Being an NL fan, I'll have to root for whoever wins the NL pennant. I still have warm feelings in my heart about the D-Backs' World Series victory over the Yankees. Nobody is more fun to hate than the Yankees. :D [/QUOTE]
