Anyone around my age (late 20s-early 30s) grew up in the age of Micheal Jordan, the 94 MLB strike, and Madden video game football. The only good thing baseball has had all to itself in the last 20 years is the 98 home run chase. And even that turned out to be BS.

This is backed up by the fact that while Game 3 drew more overall viewers, the ND-Oklahoma game outdrew the World Series in the important 18-49 demographic.
