Morning BB,
An American pilot the other day told me it was called the "World's Series" because that was the name of the newspaper that sponsored the original event. Don't know if that's true, but it sounded good.
However, just checked on Google and the connection with "The World Newspaper" of New York is complete bull. There you go.
How long before this thread degenerates into an A scale v B scale bashing.
Example:
"Baseball is predominately played by North Americans so heaven knows why they call the "World Series."
"That's right, it is. Actually, I flew with an American just the other day"
"Did you now. There's quite a few Americans in Cathay aren't there? Has he been in the company long."
"Since '91 I believe."
"Really. He'll be an A scaler then. Oh my god. It's because of them that we...............etc etc"
What was this thread about?
