The TV ratings might have been trash to start for the series, but they bounced back in a big way down the stretch.
Nobody seemed to care about this series in the early games, and the ratings were far below what the NFL was putting up in primetime games.
However, getting more than 21 million viewers is a monstrous outing for the MLB and Fox.

It looked like the series was bound to have horrific ratings from start to finish. Obviously, the drama down the stretch changed things.
