Commissioner of the United States Major World Series Bud Selig has made a new proposal- to hold a global match series between US Clubs and the Japanese clubs.
Bud Selig will be retiring in 2012, and he has stated that the proposal is rather a real issue rather than just a dream.
And the Nippon Professional Baseball commissioner Ryozo Kato disclosed to the media that the proposal was made to him when the two met in Milwaukee. Selig has emphasised the need of the World Series, which is not only vital for the US and Japan baseball but it is also important for the rest of the world.
MLB has been organizing the so called World Series since 1903, which were primarily between the American League clubs and the national League clubs, but eventually the sport started reaching to countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and also across the Asia-Pacific regions.
Since 1950 the Central and Pacific League champions were contested between the Japan series.
Japan has been the defending champion of the World Baseball Classic twice. With Bud Selig as the commissioner for MLB for another couple of years the Global World Series can well become a reality but not before there is an agreement made between the union and the management of US clubs and their Japanese counterparts.
