Or it could be that it
actually involves the whole World? Other leagues from Aus, Eng and Ind etc in the past failed to recognize that and therefore vanished. We on the other hand realize it this event doesn't evolve around the Americans only, but the whole World. And we recognize that and we'd like to share it. And it also adds more values to the cup. No one cares about wining some Indian Map-
marka cup, except the Indians. But this goes out to the whole world, not just the cities' names printed on the jerseys.
A Zimbabwean can win a World Series cup and own it, because it's World's Trophy, you don't have to be an American to own it. An Afghanies can feel proud of their countryman, even through he plays wearing a Canadian jersey, because the Cup doesn't belong to Canada only. An OZ can head home and brag more about winning a WS Cup than some BBL nonsense.
While you GMs may have drafted players from top 12 nations, this league made up players over 20 nations, that's bigger than any ICC world cup of the past. It's the WORLD SERIES.
It's bigger than all of us. That's why it's called the World Series.
