I expect them all to eventually follow suit.

Doesn't change the battery.

Nothing more than writing CAUTION HOT on single serve foam coffee cups.

Protects their assets in cases where idiocy and ignorance intersect.

But no one ever called them as well as Jack Brickhouse.
True... Jack was a class act and is still loved to this day in Chicago, but, Harry did add some real entertainment to the way he called a game. Being one of the lovable losers, I grew up with both and have mad love and respect for both...

I have a baseball question. How do people stay awake while watching the game?
You just need to have a love for the game is all...

why is it called "the world series"?

how many countries take part?
The Origin of the Name 'the World Series'
For many years, it was believed that the name came from the fact that the original series was sponsored by the New York World Telegram newspaper, thus becoming known as the ‘World’s Series’. However, popular as this explanation may be, it’s not actually true and although the newspaper did report the results of the games, it had nothing to do with the naming of the competition.

The real reason behind the name is thanks to Barney Dreyfuss who was the owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1903, he wrote to the owner of the Boston Red Sox challenging them to a ‘World’s Championship Series’. The Pirates were the best team in the National League and the Red Sox were the best in the American League.

The games went ahead and Boston won the series five games to three. Over time, the 'World’s Championship Series' name has been shortened to the World Series and has been played every year apart from 1904 and 1994.
