‘Two years ago, the Dodgers set out to become Japan's team. The Toronto Blue Jays are Canada’s team.

When the two teams collided in this year’s World Series, the ratings hit the stratosphere.

The deciding Game 7 of the World Series attracted a record 51 million viewers across the United States, Canada and Japan, Major League Baseball said Wednesday, making it the most-watched MLB game since Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.

The series averaged 34 million viewers across the three countries, the largest global audience for the World Series since 1992. The audience outside the U.S. was the largest ever — even with other countries yet to be tallied.
