To answer your question on the hamburger.

In the 1600s - Ships from the German port of Hamburg, Germany began calling on Russian port. During this period the Russian steak tartare was brought back to Germany and called "tartare steak."

18th and 19th Centuries

Hamburg Steak

In the late eighteenth century, the largest ports in Europe were in Germany.

Whoa...

Didn't know that, thanks for the fun fact

In all seriousness though, I'd love to see the MLB open up and do a worldwide thing. It would be so awesome. But, how would they have time for this? There could never truly be a 'world series'. Think about it, by the time baseball is done here in the states, there are only a few months before it all starts over again.

Maybe it can be done the same way as the World Cup Football/Soccer is done. 4 countries in 1 group & the top 1 advances to the next stage.

Or Baseball can just get rid of some of their 164 game season. I mean, honestly, do they HAVE to play every other day?
