   Would someone please explain to me how the Detroit Tigers (or any Major
League Baseball team) can claim that they are the World Champions?
   
   Unless I have been asleep for a few years I didn't see any teams
from, say, Japan, Italy, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, etc. at the World
Series.

   How then, if there is no international tournament to determine the
"world" champions, can the Tigers (or a fan of theirs) claim they are
the best team in the world??

   The Detroit Tigers are the champions of Major League Baseball, just
as the Los Angeles Raiders are the champions of the NFL, NOT THE WORLD!
