(sarcasm, of course!)<br><br>Clarity for Sheila: nothing was mentioned about not winning since 1975 - Steinbrenner's Yankees last won the Series in 2000, losing in their 2001 and 2003 appearances.Redbeard76http://www.blogger.com/profile/12894995307281466889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-82549541476090902992009-10-22T10:22:41.596-06:002009-10-22T10:22:41.596-06:00I not only have no idea who this is, I feel safe i...I not only have no idea who this is, I feel safe in saying you could have paraded ANY baseball god and I would have been as clueless.Stephanie Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-45029171585299572102009-10-22T10:25:17.463-06:002009-10-22T10:25:17.463-06:00The Yankees are like the Manchester United of base...The Yankees are like the Manchester United of baseball, in other words.

But there are players from several countries who come to play here: Japan, Korea, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Dominican Republic.<br><br>Not quite like the World Cup, I realise. But it is called that since the 1880s because "The series were promoted and referred to as the "The Championship of the United States",[4][5] "World's Championship Series", or "World's Series" for short. As baseball outside of North America was not equal to that of North America at the time, the winners of the championships were by default the best baseball team in the world."
