At 4 hours 51 minutes, it was the longest game in World Series history. Predictably, Game 1 of the World Series was a huge hit in New York, the nation's biggest television market, with 62 percent of TVs that were on Saturday night tuning in to baseball. That helped offset a lackluster showing in Chicago. Overnight ratings measure the country's 49 largest markets, covering about 66 percent of the United States. Each overnight rating point represents about 675,000 TV households.
