Nielsen estimates that an average aud of 19 million viewers watched the Boston Red Sox cap their rally in the best-of-seven series with an 11-2 victory on Sunday.

For the entire American League Championship Series, Fox averaged 11.6 million viewers

Baseball is a great game, and I'm glad to see more and more people enjoying it...
Unlike the NBA, which can't even get anywhere near 10 million a game for the finals...probably because it stopped being basketball about 8 years ago.
