    Here's the official CNN coverage of the fourth game of the World Series:
    http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/31/sport...city-royals-game-4/index.html?eref=rss_latest

    Notice: the guy who wrote it - assigned by a major news organization to cover a World Series baseball game with a New York team playing - doesn't know anything about baseball, and is unfamiliar with the normal terminology and expectations of baseball fans (or even most non-fan North Americans of maybe twenty years ago).

    That's startling.

    How many fieldgoals do you have to throw the puck for to win?

    I don't know but Americans need a "swoosh" to follow the puck.
