I’ve been having insomnia this week, so last night as I stared at the ceiling I noticed this.

Ummmm……yay?
So now we can put this on the pedestal with Don Larsen? I think the memorable thing about Larsen is how the bullpen came together to get the last 9 outs, right?
The game ended around 11:25pm Eastern. Baseball continues to do tremendously well, just ask Fox Sports PR
The #WorldSeries on FOX is averaging 11,179,000 viewers through 3 games, up +2% over last year (10,964,000) and up + 25% from 2020’s 8,977,000 📈

Let’s take a closer look at that. As much as I hate the late tightness of baseball, often the peak viewing quarter hour is around 11pm Eastern because the small West Coast audience is all awake while some of the East Coast hasn’t passed out yet. This one peaked at 9:30 – I guess the score was to blame.
Then let’s look at the cities Fox is bragging about. Philly and Houston makes sense. Austin and San Antonio are Texas OK. SD. KC. Vegas.
What about the east coast? Where is say Market One? Or Boston. Or Anywhere Florida. Or Atlanta.
HARTFORD?? You had to brag about Hartford? (and yes I see the Baltimore mention)
And then there was this – baseball being blissfully unaware…

You’re right baseball, the games ARE too late.
Anyway, congrats to baseball on having another iconic moment right up there with Judge hitting 62 Home Runs. Baseball IS back baby. The people of Hartford love it. Keep up the great job.
Hmmm next time I have insomnia maybe I SHOULD watch baseball.
