If it is an All New York "World" Series
will they call it the Subway Series again, or The Oaktown Reunion? Five of last year's Oakland A's are now playing for the Yanks and Mets.

@meJess Why World is in quotes. Certainly there are players from 3 or 4 continents playing on the teams, but the teams will be from two countries at most. The World Baseball Classic, the World Cup of baseball, is next year and a couple of the preliminary qualifying rounds are in September in Berlin and Asia.
The admittedly unfortunate terminology is bombastic hyperbole from the beginning of the 20th Century and difficult to shed. But then is the Super Bowl ever really Super, and how many remember it's origins as a mocking comparison to super balls, which was a toy fad at the time?
