There are a couple of teams from Canada and Japan too...

However.... the world series gets its name from the paper 'The World' (Chicargo World? (sp, whatever?) paper, according to my mate Skip Rooseverlt. (He didn't get the joke about 'Hop Eisenhower)

Thanks to all the replies.

Viv Anderson looks like the one.

Not Cyril Regis then?

Thanks for that.

Viv Anderson was the correct answer. My daughter needed to know for a black history month quiz.

Thanks again.
