This year, the World Series is likely to extend into November, but for sure through October 30. It’s almost Halloween and that’s scary. Baseball should be over in early October, but money rules, especially with TV advertising. But who’s watching? The games don’t start until 9 and they often run through midnight. Even most bars close then.
I love the Dodgers, but I’ll watch a few innings and call it a night, going to my computer the first thing the next morning to see the final results.
Back in the fifties, when baseball was indeed America’s Sport, they played day games and everybody could watch.
They would stop school in the afternoon and set up a TV in the gymnasium and we all watched. Now, kids can’t watch because the games are all at night and they always run late.
The ratings were off the charts this year because it was the Dodgers vs the Yankees, but I bet the ratings would have been even greater if they played day games. Then, all the kids could watch – even me.
