Japan-MLB Series; World Baseball Classic

Bud Selig tells his Japanese counterpart, Ryozo Kato, that he would be interested in talking about a series that would match the World Series Champions against the champions of the Japanese Baseball League. I’m all for deciding who a ‘World’ champion is, but isn’t that the reason for the World Baseball Classic? Is it still a ‘world’ champion if you are only including the US and Japan? What about Korea and the Caribbean countries? Instead of adding another level when you already have guys complaining about the length of the season, why not just tweak the WBC to determine a true champion. Every four years the world gets together and determines a ‘world’ champion in soccer in the World Cup, let’s figure out a way to do this for baseball.
