Seems like all 18 Red Sox-Yankees games were on the four letter network on Sunday night.
I read that they rate double the average game.

Getting assigned to one of those Sunday nighters was easily the worst duty the Herald could dish out in my day.I used to love to work the desk on Sunday night because there was so much going on that was all wire. Whatever local pro team was in season along with golf, auto racing and sometimes major tennis. We ran our best agate page of the week on Sunday nights.
Yankees-Red Sox was always the last thing to go in.
There are only 3 times I had to break a local story on a Sunday night: 1. when we learned a softball coach was accused of getting into a shoving match with a couple of players; 2. a local high school golfer drowned; 3. a former standout high school basketball player was murdered in Oklahoma.
The greatest Sunday night desk shift I had was when Sunday Night Baseball was rained out. The worst? 2004 ALCS Game 5 ... and I was at an Arizona paper!I used to love to work the desk on Sunday night because there was so much going on that was all wire.

Jerry hoping he doesn't follow in his father's footsteps in the playoffs [/crossthread]Announcing your coach at 830 pm local time on a Friday is a choice
