    I must admit it was a bit disconcerting. However, I hope that MLB does go more international. The inevitable result will be that non-USA teams will win the series occasionally. I'm ok with that. Go Angels !

    I dont think so, Galooly.
    They earned that title.
    But, Im sure a few pinheads would disagree with me.

    Seeing as how the entire Blue Jays team was comprised of US citizens... nope.

    Nah. I think Americans are big enough to understand the game is international (so to speak). We do not begrudge our northern brothers for their success.

    Not since it came back to the good old USA, and took the Expos with it, we're not.

    They had been in the play off running for a few years before that, so It's not like they came out of nowhere with it like if the expos had suddenly won it, and like someone else said, half the team (up to 90% the next year in 93) were traded from american teams anyway (carter, alomar, winfield, cone, etc next year they put molitor, stewart, henderson, etc on top of it)
