The World Series appears to have got its name due to hyperbolic newspaper reporting during its early days. It seems to be accepted now that the New York World Newspaper did not sponsor the event. So blame the media, not Americans
The first several contests between the two league champions were reported under a variety of titles -- "championship series," "world championship series," "world's series" -- before eventually becoming standardized in name as the "World Series." If the name had derived from the New York World's sponsorship, it would have been nothing but the "World Series" from the very beginning (and as far back as 1884). (from www.snopes.com)

Another word for "bukake" based on the motion that the World Series champions make in the locker room after winning when shaking champagne bottles, leading to 25 men eventually exploding at the same time.

Major League Baseball in the U.S. is the dominant baseball league on the planet, and the best baseball players from all over the world play in this league - the World Series is named to identify the best baseball team in the world for any given baseball season.

Damn it's cold today.
Looks like it's going to rain.

Yeah. You want to come over and the World Series tonight?
Nah. Got to do some early Christmas shopping.

a tournament that happens only in the united states of america. I don't even know which sport it is, because frankly I don't give a shit. It only happens in america (contrary to the title), so it doesn't concern me.
Person: Did you hear America won the world series?
Me: Against who?
Person: America. Oh and that other team from america. Oh yeah and there were another bunch of other teams all from america.
Me: Was there anyone not from america?
Person: Nope.
