More on Game 7 vs. NFL

The national rating for ALCS Game 7 was 7.9, and the Sunday Night Football game got 6.3. So at least across the country the NFL game didn't beat out baseball, but that was still far closer than it should have been. However, with more than 13.3 million viewers, the Rays-Red Sox Sunday game was the most-watched baseball game ever on cable TV.

Ray, now that I think about it, the Baltimore ratings for Sunday night make perfect sense. You did mention in your column on Friday how the Baltimore market has had very good Sunday night football ratings despite the Ravens not being on there. I guess the trend holds true for Sunday night football in Charm City.

About Ray Frager
Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
