Questions said:

Just looking at ‘Pumping Iron ‘ the fantastic body building docu about Arnies great successes back in the day and was amazed that every winner of the Mr Universe contest from 1948 had gone to a contestant from ‘EARTH’

Seems a coincidence that no one from any other part of the Universe has got the nod. Tactical voting may be ?

Some nights when I look to the sky I'm sure I can see a large northerner on a bike, sweating profusely despite the cold of deep space, swearing about having to do the Alpha Centauri round.

Baseball's championship competition is known as the "World Series" because it was originally sponsored by the New York World newspaper.
The modern World Series began in 1903, when the National League’s pennant-winning Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a best-of-nine playoff series against Boston, champions of the upstart American League (which had made the jump from minor league to major league just two years earlier).
