Boston's sweep of the Colorado Rockies drew better ratings than last season's World Series but fell short of previous years. The four games averaged a 10.6 rating, the second-lowest ever, ahead of only the 10.1 in 2006 for the St. Louis Cardinals' five-game win over the Detroit Tigers. Game 4 on Sunday night attracted a 12.6 rating, up nine per cent from the 11.6 for last year's Game 2, which was also on a Sunday. Game 3 on Saturday night earned an 8.5 rating, the second-lowest rating ever for a World Series game, better only than last year's Game 1, which drew an 8.0 on a Saturday.
