Clearly the game would be watched more in New England (or at least Boston proper) and NY than the rest of the country. Similarly a Mets-Braves game would be watched more in NY and Atlanta than the rest of the country. The point is that (a) the "rest of the country" is more interested in Sox-Yanks than Braves-Mets, or anyone else, and possibly (b) more of the New England and NY markets are interested in Sox-Yanks than Atlanta and NY would be in Braves-Mets, etc. Even if *everybody* in the New York and New England markets was watching the game (clearly not the case), it's still not enough to pull the highest *national* number in over 10 years for a game i.e. my point is proven, admit defeat.
