Through five games, the 2014 world series have some of the lowest ratings is the history of baseball. This world series is down 5% down from the Giants World Series in 2012. For some reason people do not tune into watch the Giants in the World Series. 2010, 2012, and 2014 all had the Giants playing in the World Series. Those three World Series were the three lowest World Series ratings of all time.
Seven-game World Series’ have been rare in recent years. The most recent one came in 2011 when the Cardinals defeated the Rangers. Before that, the last Series to go the distance was the 2002 match up between the Giants and Anaheim Angles, which did an 11.9 TV ratings. There is no denying that World Series that go to seven games get better TV ratings,
Statistics have shown that baseball has become one of the less popular sports.For one thing the NBA and NFL are becoming more and more popular. The same can not be said about baseball. Don't get wrong, baseball is still a very popular sport, just not as much as it once was. One thing that keeps fans coming to the games is the price of tickets. Because MLB tickets are much cheaper than NBA and NFL tickets (we're talking averages) people are still willing to go.
