....sooooo somewhere there's a baseball team that can compete with the MLB teams?!?! Quite the assumption really. Also it isn't as if the players are only from the United States either plenty of players from the Dominican, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, there are Aussies who play baseball....if you're a great player you play in the MLB, you haven't "made it" in baseball until you play for the MLB.

There's a reason Sadaharu Oh isn't considered the greatest Home Run hitter of all time....sure he had 868 of them and Barry Bonds only had 762(steroid induced of course), and Hank Aaron only had 755, but those are in Japan and not in the MLB ergo Sadaharu Oh is seen as great in Japan and if you mention him to an American we're like "Oh....well good for him, what did he do in the MLB?"


It's the World Series because the team that wins is the best in the world....you think a Japanese team or a Korean team or whoever could beat the World Series champs? I mean maybe you'd have a case if we're talking Cuba, but again Cuba's best players come to the United States to make it and some of them fall flat.
