As I understand it the World Series - the game between the winners of the National League and the American League - is named after the original sponsers of the series in 1903 The New York World ( an American Newspaper ).

The Wikipedia links have much of the story, but the real answer is that the team owners decide, usually by authorizing the league to make changes.  Today that would be a decision of all the owners on behalf of MLB, as when the leagues expanded and when the Milwaukee Brewers were moved from the American to the National League.\n\nWhy do some states (and cities) have teams in both leagues?  Competition, pure and simple.  The American League itself was founded for that reason, and it was why the original Baltimore Orioles became the New York Yankees.  In fact, part of the 1905 agreement that established the World Series as an annual affair specified that the American League would not move a franchise to Pittsburgh to compete with the Pirates.\n\nThe New York Mets and Houston Astros - indeed all of the expansion franchises and most of the recent franchise moves -also exist because of competition.  When the Giants moved to San Francisco, a minority shareholder who opposed the move, Joan Payson (who also unsuccessfully tried to buy the Giants from Horace Stoneham and thus prevent the move), had enough money to back a new major league, the Continental League, which would have teams in Atlanta, Buffalo, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York and Toronto.  (All these cities except Buffalo now have major league teams.)   The AL and NL folded and added four new teams, the others being the second Washington Senators franchise (now the Rangers) and the Los Angeles Angels (no "of Anaheim" in those days).  The man who organized the Continental League, William A. Shea, is the man for whom Shea Stadium is named.  Payson became the first owner of the Mets.\n\nSometimes moves occur because the team owner wishes to move to greener pastures, as with the Giants, Dodgers, Athletics, the Milwaukee (ex-Boston) Braves and the Seattle Pilots (now the Brewers).

Difficult - probably, although to be honest, it would probably be one of those things that you'd have to try, and then find out! I would suspect the font itself is trademarked.\n\nCopyright isn't the right word here - it's trademark or servicemark. Copyright is whether you wrote those words, trademark is the 'look and feel' of something.\n\nIn these cases it's not so much about what the words are, but whether or not you are 'passing off', or trying to make your product look like someone elses. That's why "FONY" written on something in Sony's font would be illegal. According to the Major League Baseball site, "the names, nicknames, logos, uniform designs, color combinations, and slogans designating the Major League Baseball clubs and entities, and their respective mascots, events and exhibitions" are all trade/servicemarks.

One side of the baseball has the commissioner of baseball's imprinted signature.  A. Bartlett Giomatti was the comissioner of the National League from 1986- April 1989.  I was probably in that time period

Cardinals!\n\nWay more rounded team. Very good offense and pitching to boot. (Carpenter, Mulder...Isringhausen).\n\nYanks are just offense. No pitching.

Basically a stat that depicts the teams win/loss record.  A team at the .500 mark has an equal amount of wins and losses.
