(Part 2) Baseball has a huge presence in Central America, Korea, and Japan. All of those regions have their own professional leagues, but their best players sign with a MLB team at the first opportunity they get (again due to the millions they can make here). So MLB's "World Series" is considered the most important event in baseball. Each baseball season culminates in a playoff system which leads to two teams battling in the World Series each year. The team I follow, the Texas Rangers, have made it to the last 2 World Series but lost each time. :-(
