I was aware of this explanation regarding how the World Series derived its name and was willing to accept it as the most plausible. However, if one delves a little deeper one finds that there is no actual evidence of this being the case. Baseball, like cricket, is a sport whose history and development is avidly studied and carefully documented and I'm sure that if this is how the tournament got its name there would be some inconvertible record of it.

Thank you, Spital. This just shows that you should never fully believe what you are told - just use it as a basis for more research.
