The title of this championship is confusing to some international readers, because the World Series is confined to the champions of two baseball leagues that currently operate only in the United States and Canada.\n\nThe explanation is that when the term "World's Championship Series" was first used in the 1880s, baseball was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially at a highly skilled (and paid) level. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to "World's Series" and later to "World Series".\n\nThe United States continued to be the zenith of professional baseball some decades into the 20th Century. The first Japanese professional baseball efforts began in 1920. The current Japanese leagues date from the late 1940s. Various Latin American leagues also formed around that time.\n\nBy the 1990s, baseball was played at a highly skilled level in many countries, resulting in a strong international flavor to the Series, as many of the best players from the Pacific Rim, Latin America, the Caribbean, and elsewhere now play on Major League rosters. The notable exception is Cuban nationals, due to the political situation between the USA and Cuba (despite that barrier, over the years a number of Cuba's finest ballplayers have defected to the United States to play in the American professional leagues). Players from the Japanese Leagues also have a more difficult time coming to the Major Leagues because they must first play 10 years in Japan before becoming free agents.\n\nEarly in 2006, Major League Baseball conducted the inaugural World Baseball Classic, to establish a "true" world's championship in the way the term is normally used for other international sports. Teams of professional players from 16 nations participated, and Japan won the first World Baseball Classic championship. Olympic baseball was instituted as a medal sport in 1992, but in 2005 the International Olympic Committee voted to eliminate baseball, and it will be off the Olympic program in 2012.

According to Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe, the term was first introduced by pitcher Dennis Eckersley, who coined it after giving up a "walkoff piece" to Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series. Although the term originally was coined with a negative connotation, in reference to the pitcher (who must walk off the field with his head hung in shame), it has come to mean a more celebratory term for the batter (who walks off with pride and adulation). The term attained widespread use in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The World Series came from the New York World newspaper during the 19th century when Major League Baseball was started, because they owned the rights to it, it was call the New York World Series, then later shorten to the World Series.\n\nTry using another way to put down Americans, 'cause this one seems a little invalid now doesn't it---okay now I'm getting a little arrogant, he he.

The current trophy is not a cup, but the original was one.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_World_Cup_Trophy\n\n"Designed by Abel Lafleur and made of gold plated sterling silver on a blue base of lapis lazuli, it stood 35 cm high and weighed 3.8 kg. It was in the shape of an octagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory."\n\nYou can see pictures of the original and current trophy on the above page.

Yes it is gold but not emeralds. The green stones are malachite\nthe FIFA World Cup Trophy, was first presented at the 1974 World Cup. Designed by Silvio Gazzaniga, it stands 36 cm tall and is made of 5 kg of 18 carat (75%) solid gold with a base containing two layers of malachite, and depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The name of the country whose national team wins the tournament is engraved, together with the year, in the bottom side of the trophy. It is not known whether FIFA will retire the trophy after all of the name plaques at the base are filled in; this will occur after the 2038 World Cup.\nFIFA's regulations now state that the trophy, unlike its predecessor, cannot be won outright: the winners of the tournament receive it on loan for four years and receive a replica to keep.

From what I've read before, it was a name given by Spalding to the baseball series as its sponser back at the beginning of the NABC. Or rather it was the 'World's Championship' and since they've just lost the 's.

American football championship is determined in the Super Bowl.  The National Hockey League champion wins the Stanley Cup.  The only sport with World in the title's name is baseball.  When the World Series was first played in 1903 baseball was not played anywhere else.
