allowing everyone to watch game 7 of the World Series, in which our beloved Red Sox fell short against the St Louis Cardinals.

Those statistics are substantial, however I think part of the problem is with how long the season is, 162 games is a lot of games, and each game is relatively less important than a game in the NBA, NFL etc. I think the game by itself is very exciting, and would be more compelling if the season was shortened to 120 games. The season as it is now goes on for roughly 7 months, 4-5 games a week, people have other things to do in their lives.
