NCAA College World Series

Is there anyone else at ATS watching the CWS? If you are what is the team that you are pulling for?

I am from South Carolina so naturally I am pulling for the Gamecocks. Sadly we lost our first game Monday but we will make up for that in tonight's game.

So what team are you pulling for?

i was just wondering why its called a 'world series',
if only teams from america are in it?
surely it should be called 'the american series' or something similar?

Yeah you would think so. I never really thought about it but it is a little stupid to call it a world series if it is only teams from the USA.

Only thing I could find on it doing a quick search before the game starts was a quote from wiki.

The name "College World Series" (CWS) is derived from that of the Major League Baseball World Series championship; it is currently an MLB trademark licensed to the NCAA
