Fox Earns 7.4 Fast-National For Cardinals' World Series Game 3 Win

Last night's Red Sox-Cardinals World Series Game 3 earned Fox a 7.4 fast-national rating, with 12.5 million viewers, up 21% and 19% respectively from a 6.1 with 10.5 million viewers a year ago. Last night marks the highest-rated, most-watched World Series Game 3 since a 9.1 rating with 15.4 million viewers in '09. Fox is averaging an 8.1 rating through three games of this year's World Series (Fox). Meanwhile, last night's crowd of 47,432 set a new record for attendance at Busch Stadium (THE DAILY).

The Cardinals' walk-off win on an obstruction call garnered heavy analysis across major media outlets. ESPN's John Saunders called it "one of the strangest endings the World Series has produced in more than a century.” ESPN’s Israel Gutierrez: “I hope that it goes seven games just so we forget about this and don't call this a swing moment” (“The Sports Reporters,” ESPN2, 10/27). The ST. LOUIS POST-DIPSATCH's front page reads, "A Leg Up." The BOSTON GLOBE offers, "Cardinals Win In Wild Finish."

"Fox NFL Sunday" broke away from football coverage just ten minutes into today's show, as Ken Rosenthal brought in World Series crew chief umpire John Hirschbeck and MLB Exec VP/Baseball Operations Joe Torre (THE DAILY). Elsewhere, Dodgers C A.J. Ellis weighs in on the final play in a special to the L.A. TIMES.
