OT - Go Red Sox !!!

I've lived in close proximity to Beantown for 51 years now, after treking here from California in '53 to enter the freshman class at the "good school" in Cambridge.
I'd almost given up hope of seeing the Sox win the world series in my lifetime.
Now it's looking like the curse of the Bambino might have been lifted.
I'm hoping....

And more "metal content" might be in the number of (metal) cars turned over and set afire by crazed, drunked-up, sports fans.

Ok, as a lifelong, dyed-in-the-wool Yankees fan, I'll wish you this one. But you just get one. <g>>

Take a look at their center fielder, Johnny Damon. No grunge rock band would have him. He looks too grungy.
Some of the fans call him "Jesus." There also was a sign at the ALCS games that said "Damon Saves."
Pedro Martinez has a Farina hairdo these days, if you remember "The Little Rascals." He tried to join a reggae band but they told him he'd have to clean himself up first.
Who was the fat kid in that show? The Sox have a guy that looks like him, too. He hits home runs 'cause he has to. He can't run.

Hey, we have a fat guy like that here in San Francisco. He hits home runs also, and he can't run either. I think his name is Bond or something like that.

Your wish came true! Thanks!
Now, don't ask me why it took me so long to come up with this question, but WHY do they call it the WORLD series anyway? Baseball is played in other countries, but I don't recall hearing about any teams from other nations entering into the competition.

Before I get bombed from up north, let me add that a brain fart made me forget to mention our Canadian neighbors. I included mentioning them when I asked a couple of friends the same question, but somehow left acknowledging them in my post.

Ya' got me. You could ask my son. He can recite batting averages for the 1949 Brooklyn Dodgers. Yes, he's one of *those*. And I have to live with him. <g>

No, not lifted only suspended during world series that occur during total lunar eclipses. I predict that they will go back to choking until the next eclipse.
