Eva, the World Series is the championship of the highest-level professional league which covers U.S. and Canada baseball (called the "major leagues"). As I'm writing this, game 5 of the 2019 World Series is being played right now. So the mystery woman of the quote is likely to be an American.

My next guess will be Alice Roosevelt Longworth.

Thanks, Steve - I knew there is a World Series in baseball, but I wasn't sure if other sports in the US possibly have a World Series, too. The tournament is similar to German "Bundesliga" - but there is a Bundesliga in soccer, handball, basketball, every team sports (not baseball as there is no baseball over here). Of course, usually if not specified, "Bundesliga" would first imply the soccer Bundesliga as this is sports #1. (So, there is no other World Series than baseball?)
(I'm guessing Rob is right...)
