Most of my compatriots wouldn't share that - Iraq, Bush, Guantanamo and all that - but you're world leaders in so many ways that I can accept Americans being proud of their country... I used to get emails when you replied to my comments...? Hey, I think it’s ok to say USA is #1.

Not very accurate anymore though? I am American. W R #1!!! (I'm kidding. I am American, but I respect all cultures. Except the Irish...again, kidding...watch 'Blazing Saddles'.) Wow.

I am American. W R #1!!! (I’m kidding. I am American, but I respect all cultures. Except the Irish…again, kidding…watch ‘Blazing Saddles’.)

From Wikipedia "The explanation is that when the term "World's Championship Series" was first used in the 1880s, baseball at a highly-skilled level was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially the United States. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to "World's Series" and later to "World Series"." So yes, it looks like your map was justified after all... (Hmm just to confirm, you're American too, right?) Yeh a funny map

I was reading an article about it today, it said that according to folklore it was after a newspaper called “The World News” or something like that sponsored it.

From Wikipedia

“The explanation is that when the term “World’s Championship Series” was first used in the 1880s, baseball at a highly-skilled level was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially the United States. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to “World’s Series” and later to “World Series”.”

So yes, it looks like your map was justified after all…

(Hmm just to confirm, you’re American too, right?)

This map is fantastic and pretty much right on too. Americans do tend to think this way, unfortunately. Anyway, I agree, I never understood why they called it the 'world' series either.
