What Should The Yankees vs. Phillies World Series Be Called?
NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- Starting on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, the American League's New York Yankees will take on the National League's Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series.
The Yankees play at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY and the Phillies play at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA. The two are simply an Amtrak ride or New Jersey Turnpike drive away from each other.
When the Yankees play the Mets, it's called a "Subway Series." What should this series be called. Scroll down and leave your ideas.

Name the 2009 World Series
The Yankees are playing the Phillies in the World Series. When the Yankees play the Mets, we call it a Subway Series. What should we call this series?

the NJ Turnpike Series.
When Kansas City met St Louis in a series, people named the series after the highway that linked the two cities. So lets call it the NJ turnpike Series.

Oblivious October
Its a lose/lose situation for Mets fans. If the Phillies win, it would be nice to dethrone 2-time World Champs in 2010. If the Yankees win - a 4 game sweep would be nice, watching the Phillies choke - lots of Utley errors hopefully - Rollins "the team to beat" and Hamels' the Mets "choked" would be gone for the 2010 season.

WORLD SERIES????
Any other teams it would simply be The World Series. But now they have to come up with a "name" for it???
How can it be called World Series when they don't even go to other countries to play their teams (Toronto doesn't really count here). Soccer has the RIGHT to call it a WORLD cup, baseball shouldn't call it a world anything!

World Series Too???
even the little league travels around the world to play. why can't the big guys do it? THAT would make it a WORLD series. I'd love to see the game played in another country, that would make it more exciting. I'm with the guy before, baseball is one boring game...right up there w/ chess & golf.
