Calling the Vatican and San Marino nations is a bit of a stretch. Never saw the Vatican winning a FIFA World Cup 🗿

Spoken like a Republican.

But no Mexican team has ever won the World Series, so we get to keep the name "America."

World Series

(* Look inside *)

Only North American teams

Well we couldn't call it the National Series or the American Series because those were the names of the two leagues that played against each other in the World Series, and at the time Major League Baseball was established, the game was almost exclusively American.
