UPDATE, 10:53 AM: The Houston Astros are now the World Series champions but the final game of the 2017 Fall Classic is a runner-up to last year's historic baseball ender. With 28.22 million viewers for the Astros 5-1 victory over the Dodgers in L.A. last night, the 2017 Game 7 fell 30% from the 2016 Game 7 when the Chicago Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians to win their first World Series in 108-years. Taking a 35,00 feet view, last night's first Astros World Series championship is the second most-watched baseball broadcast in over 13 years.
