Puerto Rico is part of the United States.

But on a side note it's a game of players from all over the world so I would say it is World Champs. The best players in the world all in one league! :)

god i hate seeing the yankees win!

They're lucky. Those German's have a great baseball team this year.

**06Panther** · 11-04-2009, 11:00 PM

But they are from new york city. So it must be a world title.

**price26** · 11-04-2009, 11:01 PM

Well then the Yankees can play the best teams from the other leagues around the world. . .

This. The world's best players come here to play, not the Mexican Winter League or the Venezuela Winter League. Yankees = World Champs

A few others have stated my thoughts but it is a game played with players from around the world. It just so happens the best all end up playing in our back yard and for that I can get behind calling them World Champions.

It's a bull**** tournament that doesn't feature the world's best players in an attempt to make money.

I do agree with you here to some degree, but for some reason I still really enjoy watching it. I think it has something to do with my excitement for baseball season.
