How much of the WBC have you watched?

It has been fantastic in general and only getting better as other countries generate more talent. I kind of wish they went to a short series format for the “playoff” rounds, but maybe that will come down the road when money gets real. It’s a great event. With over 60 million viewers in Japan last night it was likely the most watched baseball game in history.

I read a stat that said 97% of households in Japan tuned into the final. Bonkers.

It was in the early morning on a work day.

This is what I saw.

The day before was a holiday, I bet the number would have been a lot higher.

Yes. That seems more realistic. I just went to find the stat I saw and it was from a barstool account. Still bonkers.
