Game 7 of the World Series averaged 51 million viewers combined across the United States, Canada and Japan, making it the most-watched MLB game globally in 34 years, the league announced Wednesday.
Spanning back nearly three-and-a-half decades was Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, which pitted the Minnesota Twins against the Atlanta Braves. The Twins secured a 1-0 win in 10 innings.
Back to last Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers recorded their second straight World Series title by posting a 5-4 victory in 11 innings over the host Toronto Blue Jays.
The Dodgers feature Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani and World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, while the Canadian-based Blue Jays were making their first World Series appearance since 1993.
