You’re stuck with us for the #WorldSeries

We have the privilege of continuing our coverage on @Sportsnet . Game 1 kicks off Friday with @DannySpxp Buck Martinez and yours truly. 🇨🇦

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

Buck Martinez and Dan Schulman get to call the World Series. That absolutely rules.

[Dan Shulman @DannySpxp]

This is Alex Frazao, our megaladon (handheld camera on the field) operator, with the guidance of our director, Troy Clara. This is insanely good work by both of them (and Hazel stepping back for a moment too) in live time. So lucky to be part of such an amazing crew.

Hang this in the Louvre.

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

It’s wild that the viewership in Canada and the US were basically the same.

It’s mind blowing.

[Hazel Mae @thehazelmae]

Sunday’s division-clinching game was the
most-watched #BlueJays regular season game ever with an average audience of 2.36 million..

14% higher than the previous record, which was the final regular season game of 2016 (2.07 million)
(1/3)

@SchneideRemarks numbers speak for themselves

[Travis Sawchik @Travis_Sawchik]

I love a good list but the Blue Jays' valuation feels light given they have by far the largest "local" TV market in MLB (and maybe all of N. American sport). In 2022, the Jays averaged 896,000 watching per broadcast ... the MLB average was 96,000. The Jays are the rare national team.
