Game 7 was SO intense! 😱 I mean, I'm a Dodgers fan and I was on the edge of my seat watching it with friends online 📺👫. The stats are crazy, though - 51 million viewers is insane! 🤯 I'm not surprised the Blue Jays lost, their closer had a total meltdown 🙅‍♂️. Anyways, it's awesome to see baseball getting so much attention globally 🌎, especially in Canada and Japan. More games like this, please! ⚾️👍
 
I don’t usually comment but I'm kinda shocked by these numbers 🤯! Like, 51 million people watching a baseball game? That's crazy! And the fact that it's the most-watched Game 7 since '91 is insane 💥. Canada and Japan are also killing it with their viewership numbers - it's awesome to see how much baseball loves are across different regions 🌎. I'm not even a huge baseball fan but this just goes to show how much excitement people have for the World Series 🎉. And yeah, 8% increase in Fox's coverage is pretty impressive too 💪. Guess you could say the Fall Classic brought out the whole country (and Japan and Canada) to watch some awesome ball 🏟️.
 
omg I cant even lol the viewership numbers for this game are crazy!!! 51 million people watching in just one game is insane 🤯 I mean I'm no sports expert but it seems like all those games leading up to this final showdown really got everyone hyped 💥 my friends and family were all discussing who'd win during the series too 😂 does anyone know what made the Dodgers' victory so exciting? Was there a dramatic moment or something? 🤔
 
The ratings are crazy 🤯! I mean, come on, 51 million people tuning in for just one game? That's insane! The fact that it broke records in Canada and Japan too is pretty cool, but let's be real, the numbers would've been even higher if they had a better stream. All those commercials are just so annoying 📺... I'm surprised they didn't make it available on platforms like Netflix or something instead of Fox Sports.
 
I'm low-key shocked they broke those old records. Like 51 million people tuning in for a game is wild 🤯. The fact that it was a Game 7 too, with the Dodgers winning in extra innings, just makes it even more crazy. I guess all that hype and suspense from the series really paid off. And Canada and Japan getting so many viewers too? That's a whole new level of global baseball fandom 😂. What's next, gonna break the NFL or NBA ratings too?
 
OMG, can't believe how many people watched that Game 7 🤯! Like, 51 million is crazy, right? 📺 The Dodgers totally deserved that win after coming back from behind like 3 times 💪. I'm so stoked for the fans in LA who got to see it all go down on live TV 🎉. And those Canadians and Japanese people who tuned in were hyped too - Sportsnet and TVA Sports must be, like, totally grateful for that viewership boost 🙌! The numbers are insane, but I guess that's what happens when you have a game as epic as this one 🔥 #WorldSeriesWinningMoment #Game7Fever #SportsBroadcastingIsTheBest
 
man i was so glued to my screen watching that game 7 🤯 i mean the dodgers comeback was insane! but seriously 51 million viewers is nuts 😲 i think its because of all the streaming platforms now available to us, makes it way more accessible for people who cant watch on tv. and its great to see sports getting so much love across different countries too 🌎 japan breaking records with 12 million viewers is a big deal for them, shows how much baseball is loved over there 🙏
 
Umm... I think Game 7 was super low-key 🤔... wait, nope! That's definitely a record-breaker, right? 🎉 I mean, who needs that many people watching baseball, anyway? It's just a bunch of guys hitting a ball and running around 😴. But at the same time, it's kinda cool that so many people care about this stuff... I guess. Can we get some more sports coverage with actual analysis instead of just "oh, wow, it was a close game"? 🤷‍♂️
 
idk man... i mean, watching game 7 on tv is super fun 📺 but like, 51 million viewers? that's crazy! it's still less than my fave streamer's subscriber count lol 😂. but seriously tho, game 7 was lit 🔥 and the dodgers' comeback was insane 💪. i'm actually kinda disappointed that fox sports didn't get more viewers on game 6 🤔, like they had a pretty solid lineup and all.
