# Ignorance
Its "World" in the (mainly US sense) of "something of importance" rather than "something that encompasses the whole world", i.e. when you are "on top of the world" it's unlikely you're physically stood at the North Pole, if you feel that you're "carrying the whole world on your shoulders" you do not physically have the planet Earth to support.

When the "World Series" was named (1900), the US was hardly a superpower, simply a growing collection of cities on both coasts with hardly anything in between. It began as an exhibition game between the winners of the American and National Leagues. No one knew what to call it, so some journo eventually came up with the "World Series" and it stuck.

Happy to educate. BTW the "sponsored by the New York World newspaper" explanation is a lie.
