I agree that it's silly that the World Series uses the word "world" (though Canada is involved it so it's not quite as bad as it would be if it were 100% US), but you're mistaken about baseball being played nowhere else in the world. In addition to the US and Canada, it's also fairly popular in many Latin American countries, in the Caribbean, and in Japan.
