I'm not American (UK here) but please correct me if I am wrong my American friends. It is called the "World Series" not because of claiming to be World Champions, but because of a Newspaper or something called World Series?

Urban myth.

Reality:

"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."

I stand corrected. My dad always fed me that bullsheet story so I guess I just never questioned it.
