That actually is also why they stop and watch a show. I worked for 10 days this month with Dana Smith, (lifetime achievement award, Edmonton, '02, http://www.danasmith.com ) at a festival in the states, and he talked about giving his crowds a break, using less of the "edge", for that reason. It made sense. He constituted himself and his act as a break, a good time for people, and it really works. Smart guy.

Peter, I hate to ruin the rhythym of the beginnings of a perfectly good rant with a the injection of a fact or two, buuuuuuut ...

The World Series is not so named because it is a contest amongst baseballers around the world, but because it was originally sponsored by the "New York World" newspaper. "New York World" was just "the World" (like "the Trib", "the Star", "the Globe" or "the Post"), hence "the World series".

Correct about where the name came from, it was actually originally called The World's Series. The 's was dropped - I think - sometime in the 20's.

oh god youre all gonna shout at me but lets call soccer football which is its rightful name! ah that old argument spreads worldwide...but here in europe i'm afraid thats what its always been known as... FOOTBALL!

god its good to read some posts where everyone is happily being competitive! lets keep it that way eh?!!

GOD EM WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!
Seriously though if we call football football, than what are we going to call football? I know it doesn't make a lot of sense that we call American Football football, but still we do and we need to be able to distinguish between American Football and the rest of the worlds football...don't we? Of course there's probably not a lot of Kansas City fans here so maybe nobody wants to talk about football. So congrats to the KC Wizards for their MLS Championship three years ago. Sorry to yell Em.

The word "crap" comes to mind.

Little Johnny was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the
children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical
answers came up -- fireman, policeman, salesman, etc... Johnny was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.

"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all
his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really
good,he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some coloring, and took Little Johnny aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"

"No," said Johnny, "He plays for the New York Yankees but I was too embarrassed to say so."

I want to thank everyone for replying to this topic it was fun I learned alot more about base ball and some other sports. I hope no one got offended if I seemed pretty harsh in my reply's during the world series it's because I am one of those true yankee fans that's loud and obnosious after drinking a few beers and hyped up because of the game anyway thanks for everything we'll defenetly be back next year YANKEES RULE!!! be kool everybody.
