I can remember being let out of school a few minutes early to get home to watch that 78 playoff game between the Yankees and Red Sox, and I lived in Ohio. Our school let us out early for a game our home team wasn't even involved in. All the big games were on in the late afternoon when kids could watch/
So what is popular now, football. Isn't it just so ironic that the higher lords of baseball swear they have to have post season games start close to 9pm to get ratings while the Super Bowl starts at 6 and gets way higher ratings. You'd think there would be at least one dumbass in baseball in a position of authority who would get it.
I haven't watched a WS game since the Indians played the Marlins in 97, and that was only because I am a huge Indians fan and happened to be on the West Coast at the time when the games would be on at a reasonable hour. With my work I cannot stay up late enough to watch the games.
