You obviously haven't been listening to George Bush. The United States is the center of the universe.

And on a more serious note, at the time the World Series became a reality baseball wasn't played anywhere else in the world. There has been talk of creating a true world series now that Japan in particular has national teams that swap players with US teams.

Just finished seeing the last game. Too bad the series got over in 4. It was sad to see the Houston fans clutching on to their hopes at the bottom of 9th :(

Did any fans get to see it in Singapore ?
