In many ways it was a great era, and I enjoyed almost all of it. But I really regret the decision to play the World Series -- which should be the best event in American sports -- in the middle of the night.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-499305215899648012021-11-01T14:09:19.789-04:002021-11-01T14:09:19.789-04:00Average time of World Series game ending (all time...Average time of World Series game ending (all times Central):<br /><br />1970's: 6:57 P.M.<br />1980's: 9:26 P.M.<br />1990's: 10:29 P.M.<br />2000's: 10:54 P.M.<br />2010's: 10:43 P.M.<br />2020's: 10:46 P.M.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-7000296795171648592021-11-01T14:07:30.382-04:002021-11-01T14:07:30.382-04:00Every World Series game played during the week sho...Every World Series game played during the week should begin at 6 PM Central, no matter where it is played. Every World Series game played on Saturday or Sunday should begin at 1 PM local time.

Each of the last 29 games in the World Series has ended after 10 PM Central, and 11 of those ended after 11 PM Central. And that's a big part of why people don't watch.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.com
