World Series games will start about 40 minutes earlier this fall, as MLB and FOX have responded to the concern of fans. First pitches will be shortly before 8 p.m ET, with coverage beginning at 7:30. "I really feel good about where we are," said commissioner Bud Selig. "Our goal is to schedule games so the largest number of people can watch, and FOX has gone to an enormous amount of effort to make this happen. It's been a great joint effort between the two us."
