Any baseball fans out there? If so, you watching the world series? Who will win?

Why is it the 'World Series' when it is just USA and its little brother, Canada, represented?

    because it was originally sponsored by the "Chicago World" newspaper. When the paper withdrew its sponsorhip, the name "World Series" stuck.

    Sometimes it's best not to reveal how much useless knowledge we have...

    BTW Salute to Anaheim for their victory. Apart from the usual English love of the underdog, I have to say that any team that comes back from being 5 runs down in potentially the last game (the series was 3-2 in San Francisco's favour), really deserves to win.
