Publisher's Synopsis
The Star-Studded Dream-Come-True 200-Team Baseball World Cup 2027: Find out how it all became possible, how it ended, and what the follow-up turns out to be.Thanks to the most brilliant joint planning, funding, scheduling and promoting work ever seen in the whole wide world, and thanks to a big bucket full of good fortune, with all the big guys up in the Major League and international organisation's upper echelons really getting their act together and signing all the TV networks and the big sponsors up on such short notice, we ended up achieving nothing short of a miracle. Truly: great job, guys!In addition, the big sponsors, the broadcasters and the organizers all played their role perfectly, bringing in record numbers of viewers, record press column space and record funding, thanks to a media broadcasting rights bidding war with multiple winners for different package size, game number, update highlight footage and access right numbers, plus the crucial early full backing of a few lottery millionaires and one anonymous corporate billionaire.So now we are the lucky ones who get to experience the biggest ever nationally and professionally co-hosted world championships in any sport, by far, ever in human history, with no less than 200 teams lining up to give this shiny new world cup trophy a try. A truly epic battle to win the World Cup 2027 will be spread out across all the big stadiums in North America, in a truly special collaboration, the likes of which has never been seen before.The whole month of June 2027 has been devoted to this amazing new truly global event, along with the first few days of July, and all the big competitions of the world, including the major league race to be in the world series final have all been scaled back a little and rescheduled, so as to have no competing priorities and no overlap with this magnificent new global competition.None of the very best were ready to miss out on this. This was history in the making. They all went for it, got picked and were allowed to shine big time in what many are calling the best baseball contest of all time. And the league imposed a special redistribution codex that ensures that those best players who participate in this will benefit in more ways than one.In our special 2027 super tournament there will be 8 teams at each venue x 25 host venues, so 25 x 8 = 200 teams representing countries and representing major parts of the US. Each one will be vying for the big world title this year, as well as for all the coveted top ten, top 25, top 40, and top 100 finishing spots, which are within reach for all this year. How exciting can it get?A true and proper drawing is held, to determine which teams go into which group for the first rounds of play in this massive and exciting world cup of baseball tournament. The host area team is automatically placed in the group it will be hosting. Each team's performance in phase one determines which phase two and phase three group they are assigned to. Using the outcomes of the phase one play, we will soon see which teams to match up with each other in an increasingly evenly matched event set-up as we go along. So here is how the allocation of our 200 teams to the 25 groups in June 2027 panned out: Group 1, held at Busch Stadium, MO: Team Missouri; Team Kentucky; Team Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Chile, Belgium, Iowa, and Nicaragua.Group 2, held at Coors Field, Denver, CO: Host Team Colorado, Team Israel; Team Austria; Kentucky, Colombia, Kansas, Puerto Rico and Jamaica.Group 3, held at Yankee Stadium, NY: hosts Team New York Empire Staters; Utah, Nebraska, Sweden, Senegal, Uruguay, Kazakhstan and Surinam (who qualified by defeating ...
