World Series Ratings

The ratings for the American League Championship Series were probably higher than for other series in the past few years. I, for one, had much more interest in seeing the Evil Empire fall. The manner in which it occurred is too juicy for words. To have such a lackluster performance in the first three games by the good guys and then turn it around and win it in the final game after games of extra innings ... WoW. Vince McMahon could not have written it better. My wife would say that he probably did write it. I am not so conspiratorial as to believe that.

Now we have the Red Sox coming up against the Cards. A series that should be entertaining and, should Boston win the series, historically relevant. The Cardinals are a team with vast history and great previous success. If Boston can defeat them, it will be a rewarding visitation of previous defeats at the hands of the Cards in previous World Series.
