There are few things in television that can compete with football but baseball found a silver bullet with the World Baseball Classic final between Venezuela and the United States on Tuesday. With all evidence pointing that viewership was sky-high, all that was left to do for Fox Sports was to wait with anticipation for the final numbers and they did not disappoint.
Per Sports Media Watch, Venezuela's 3-2 victory over Team USA averaged 10.78 million viewers across Fox and Fox Deportes, significantly higher than any other game in the event's history. This builds on the 7.37 million mark the United States vs. Dominican Republic semifinal yielded on Sunday night.
