There was a point in the first game of yesterday's Caribbean World Series doubleheader--men on second and third, two outs, 16th inning, Gregor Blanco swinging right out of his socks on the first pitch, and whiffing two pitches later--when I thought, this game will not die.
Around the 13th inning, word circulated through the press box that the longest game in Caribbean Series history was a matchup between Venezuela and the Dominican Republic in 1989, lasting 16 innings before ending in a 3-2 Venezuelan win.
In the 16th, with the Caribbean Series record for most innings tied, the Venezuelans got a couple of guys on with one out, prior to the Gregor Blanco whiff that led off this piece.

  Caribbean World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caribbean World Series of Professional Baseball — or Serie del Caribe del Béisbol Profesional in Spanish — is an annual baseball tournament, usually played during the month of February,before the MLB trainings season in Dominican Republic, Mexico,Puerto Rico or Venezuela.
However, the Caribbean World Series was cancelled after Fidel Castro dissolved all professional baseball in Cuba in 1961, replacing the professional teams with a state-run amateur system.
Nowadays, the Caribbean Series is affiliated with the Winter League programs of Major League Baseball, featuring MLB players and prospects in the professional leagues of the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.

 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, the culmination of the sport's postseason each October.
The Series winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff (except in 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921 when the winner was determined through a best-of-nine playoff) and is awarded the World Series Trophy, as well as World Series rings.
These series were arranged by the individual teams, not by the leagues directly, the same as the 1880s World's Series matches had been.

 World Series Summary
The term "World Series" was first coined for a nine-game series between the Boston Pilgrims and the Pittsburgh Pirates, an informal outgrowth of a 1903 "peace treaty" signed between the two competing "major" baseball leagues, the 27-year-old National League (N.L.) and the upstart 2-year-old American League (A.L.).
Despite its name, the World Series is not a "world championship" in the same sense as the FIFA World Cup or the Cricket World Cup because it is not between national teams, but is limited to Major League Baseball teams, which represent individual cities and states (currently of the United States and Canada only).
One of these series at the end of 1903 was a meeting between the two pennant winners and is known as the 1903 World Series.

 Latino Baseball, Caribbean World Series Histoey
And the Caribbean World Series, in its present incarnation, is still growing in prominence throughout the world.
At the reestablishment of the series in 1970, it was logical that the Dominican Republic should form part of the Caribbean Confederation.
The second series was won in 1973, with Tom Lasorda at the helm, and was propelled by 75 hits in six games and the leadership of Mota and Jesus Rojas Alou: both men hit.500 and tied for the lead in batting for the series.

The 1904 Series was supposed to be between the AL's Boston Pilgrims and the NL's New York Giants.

By 1949, the Serie del Caribe (Caribbean Series) pitted teams from the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela against one another.
Their games are capped off in the Serie del Caribe, or the Caribbean “World Series.” This series happens in February, but the U.S.'s summertime sport is played in the winter in Latin America.
Cricket in the Caribbean is unique as a sport because it has a West Indian team, rather than teams from various Caribbean islands.

The first World Series, in 1903, was a best-of-nine affair arranged by the winners of the NL and the AL and won by the AL's Boston Pilgrims in a 5-3 upset over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The 1917 Series was memorable for Giants third baseman Heinie Zimmerman's futile chase to home plate of Eddie Collins as the White Sox took the lead in the Series clincher; neither catcher Lew McCarty nor pitcher Rube Benton covered home.
For their first World Series game on the lakefront, 25,734 Indians fans watch their home team score two in the first and two in the 3rd off Leon Cadore (15-14) and Al Mamaux.

 The World Cup
Unlike soccer-football, the number of countries with serious baseball leagues and/or signficant numbers of players is limited, and the same teams would be in the hunt for a (short) World Cup even everytime, probably limiting the win-at-any-cost frenzy of the Soccer World Cup.
Since the Caribbean teams now must follow "The I-Rod Rule" which limits the talent they can put on their roster, we can give the Caribbean team more slots, and allow them to cherry-pick from MLB rosters.
If the World Series team lost two Dominicans in this process, they are allowed to chery pick an additional two players from the rest of MLB (with the caveat that they can only pick US citizens).
