Do they always play 7 games and if not when was the last time it went less?

Only if needed. Can't answer that one. Maybe the baseball experts will chime in.

Yeah, I think he was suggesting it might be planned to go long.

Not usually so lucrative. Ratings were quite high. Lots of cubs fans nationally and the fact that neither team had won in so long I think drove the ratings.

I'm naïve, I figure everyone involved makes money on every World Series game.

SedonaDave ,thanks that was what I was wondering.

ovrszd, It's both, it sure seems like they play 7 games. If tickets are pre-sold how would they ever pay back the money without names? As you can tell I don't keep up with baseball or football.
