I thought "world series" could refer to any sport, so long as it was only played in America and a few neighbouring states.

Maybe the Gaelic Athletic Associaiton should stop calling its big championship the All Ireland, and call it a World Series instead. And the Australians could do the same with Rules Football. And the Japanese could have a World Series Sumo championship... Great games all.

And so is Baseball. But I don't think I could ever take to that game where they have the squads of fellas dressed as Stormtroopers on shore leave from the Death Star. Too staccato, no flow to it that I can see. The diametrical opposite of Rules and Gaelic football. (But hurling is the greatest of all.)

Incidcetally, most of the other football codes are played by women as well - I'm not sure about Aussie Rules, but the others all are. So is there a woman's version lf American Footbvall?

(To give us a musical drift - after all, this thread wasn't labelled as BS - there was a thread a few months back "Sporting hero songs?" Anyone got any songs to add to that?)
