Clearly how there can be a World Series of baseball and no really foreign teams, such as from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America or Australia have ever been invited to play, even just to be a ‘rest of the world ‘ whipping boy there because they are expected to be easy beats who will confirm the US as the best players.
Sounds like you are a little bit jealous that baseball is (mostly) a North American game.
Yep.
The Japanese really like it, and darned near took it away from us, but now they just send over the occasional player.
There does seem to be a lot of players from the Caribbean, but still, the primary focus is North America.
After all, you can’t have the statement, “As American as baseball, Chevrolet and apple pie.”, without baseball.
