Game 7 earns fan-tastic ratings for baseball

NEW YORK (AP) - Nearly 40 million people watched Game 7 of the World Series, the largest TV audience for baseball in 10 years.

Fox's broadcast of the Arizona Diamondbacks' 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees to clinch the championship Sunday night drew a 23.5 preliminary national rating and 34 share, making it the most-watched telecast in the network's history outside of NFL games.

The rating is the percentage of the country's 105.5 million TV households tuned to a broadcast. Share is the percentage of homes with TVs in use.

The game, which Arizona won with a two-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning to end New York's streak of three straight titles, drew more than twice as many viewers as Sunday night's Emmy Awards show on CBS.
