it seems everyone is missing the point about this question. the baseball world doesn't not revolve around new york, that's true. but if you look at the question from a population viewpoint, the greater ny area has a greater population than detroit and st. louis put together. this would mean they have a larger fan base from which to draw. now obviously not everyone in ny like the mets or yankees just like not everyone in detroit likes the tigers and not everyone in st louis likes the cards. detroit and st louis are considered small market teams because they are in smaller areas. that doesn't make their fans any less or more loyal and likely to watch the games. it's great for both these teams but it doesn't matter how many people watch because the cards are going to get their butt kicked.

The ratings will not be high because 67% of the American population does not have a significant interest in baseball anymore. This is probably due to the strikes, the steroid scandals, the rediculous (high) salaries paid to the players, and the high cost of going to a big league game.
Most people are hoping that Barry Bonds does not break Aaron's home run record. Ratings would be low even if it were an all NY series.

who cares about the ratings?
The World Series is about 2 great teams (Detroit & St Louis) battling it out for The WORLD Championship.

It can't be any worse than last years World Series, that was so boring. But I don't think the world revolves around N.Y.

As amazing as it may seem, there is a whole country west of New York that could not care less about the Mutts or Yonkies. Let's play ball!
