BASEBALL DAILY REPORT : WORLD SERIES
Game 3 Tuesday was the highest-rated World Series game since the Dodgers closed out the Oakland Athletics in the fifth game in 1988.
CBS said it drew a national rating of 23.4 and a 39 share, up 21% from Game 3 a year ago.
The game also gave CBS a prime-time ratings victory over ABC and NBC for the night, the network said.
The ratings figure is the percentage of televisions in America, and a share is the percentage of televisions in use at the time. One rating point is equal to about 921,000 homes.
