The World Series Is the Water Cooler Conversation Is Baseball

This is bigger than the Super Bowl for a quarter final of Japan versus Italy Shouhei Otani blowing balls by Vinny Pascuentito. Like, I think the highest rated World Series ever in the US was 1980s World Series Which averaged a 32.8 rating so, like, a third of US households on average We're watching the 1980 World Series This blows this away It's like half of the people with TVs watching this WBC quarter final game That's just an indication of how much it matters to many people around the world Yeah, it's pretty incredible and I think that, like, we just don't want to dismiss that impact.
