Hey, the Boston Red Sox won the "World Series" (of statistical 
interest: for the first time since 1918)! Now there are those 
chauvinists that carp that a "World Series" of baseball (a game 
invented in Her Majesty's former colonies) that only includes teams 
from US and Canada is a bit more provincial than, say, the "World Cup", 
but those people have leg before wicket.
