World Series Games 2 And 3 Least-Viewed In History 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Nov 1, 2023 4:48 am

The fears of this year\'s World Series between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks becoming the least-viewed Fall Classic in TV history are becoming a reality.

Games 2 and 3 are the least-watched on record according to Nielsen. Monday\'s 3-1 victory by the Rangers averaged 8.13 million on Fox, according to fast national figures. Saturday\'s 9-1 Diamondbacks\' win averaged 8.15 million.

Before this year, the least-watched World Series game was Game 3 in 2020 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays, which averaged 8.34 million.

MLB will change the format some way to rectify this, and that’s a shame really. These two teams preformed when it matter most and the casual baseball fan could care less.
