Glad to hear you're enjoying the US's national pastime. I asked myself this question when i first got intrest in baseball and in my opinion, it is most definitely NOT a world series and am ashamed that our sport continues to call it as such. True, we have the best baseball players in the world, but imagine whoever wins the EPL, or La Liga, or Serie A of soccer calling themselves the world champs? It would seem a bit arrogant around the rest of soccer world, I'd imagine.
If Major League Baseball truly wants to expand its global appeal and reach new markets, then it will have to rename its championship series and offer more international club contests - much like FIFA has a world cup for clubs and another for countries

It's also played by Cuba and Japan. The British and the rest of the world consider it no more than glorified rounders.

this is probably the best answer and MLB isn't going to change it now.
