Quite a hobby horse you have there, Mike.

Face it, the name "World Series" was used by MLB well before there were any teams from Canada. In the common lexicon it has come to mean a diamond sports championship series.

MY objection to calling tournaments the ____ SERIES is the word "series." There is no "series." You're lucky if the tournament is double elimination.

(Recent NCAA CWS and WCWS being the exception, as they now have a 3 game series for the championship.)
