The series was origanally sponsored by a newspaper, called the New York
World (or The something World) and the name World Series stuck.  
(Tried Google, tried Encyclopedia Britannica and www.worldseries.com and
http://www.everything2.com/ but cant backup this statement)

Besides we all know Americans dont know much about Geography (dont ask
me to name the 32 counties, im also crap at Geography).  
"What do mean the biggest one isnt America!"
"Sir, thats the USSR."
