Question: What nationality was the professional baseball pitcher who was in the 111th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series

 He previously played for the Tampa Bay Rays and Kansas City Royals.  Davis is a three-time MLB All-Star. Wade Allen Davis (born September 7, 1985) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB).  He was a member of the Royals' 2015 World Series-winning team, and earned the Babe Ruth Award for his performance in the 2015 MLB postseason. <SEP> The 1987 World Series was the 84th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series, and the conclusion of the 1987 Major League Baseball season.  It was a best-of-seven playoff played between the American League (AL) champion Minnesota Twins and the National League (NL) champion St. Louis Cardinals.  The Twins defeated the Cardinals four games to three to win the Series.  Twins pitcher Frank Viola was named as the 1987 World Series MVP. <SEP>  The series was played between October 27 and November 1, with the Royals winning the series 4 games to 1.  It was the first time since the 2010 World Series that the World Series extended into November.  The Royals became the first team since the Oakland Athletics in the 1989 World Series to win the World Series after losing in the previous year. The 2015 World Series was the 111th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series, a best-of-seven playoff between the National League (NL) champion New York Mets and the American League (AL) champion Kansas City Royals.  It was also the first World Series since the 2007 World Series to not feature the Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, or San Francisco Giants as the NL champions. <SEP> The World Series, the modern championship series of Major League Baseball, began in 1903, and was established as an annual event in 1905.  Before the formation of the American Association (AA), there were no playoff rounds—all championships went to the team with the best record at the end of the season.  In the initial season of the National League (NL) in 1876, there was controversy as to which team was the champion: the Chicago White Stockings, who had the best overall record (52–14), or the St. Louis Brown Stockings (45–19), who were the only team to have a winning record against every other franchise in the league.  The teams agreed to play a five-game "Championship of the West" series, won by St. Louis, 4 games to 1.  Beginning in 1884, the championship series between the National League and the American Association were promoted and referred to as the "World's Championship Series" (WCS), or "World's Series" for short; however, they are not officially recognized by Major League Baseball as part of World Series history.  Though early publications, such as Ernest Lanigan's "Baseball Cyclopedia" and Turkin and Thompson's "Encyclopedia of Baseball", listed the 19th-century games on an equal basis with those of the 20th century, "Sporting News" publications about the World Series, which began in the 1920s, ignored the 19th-century games, as did most publications about the Series after 1960.  Major League Baseball, in general, regards 19th-century events as a prologue to the modern era of baseball, which is defined by the emergence of the two present major leagues.
