So, if you are a Major League Baseball player and/or fan, do you wonder if Hamilton's comment about not being a baseball town might just be correct?
Here are the ratings when the Rangers went against the Cowboys Sunday...a MUST win game for the Rangers and just another early season game for the Cowboys....
Cowboys - 26.8 rating & 711,620 homes
Rangers - 5.9 rating &156,663 homes
The Cowboys out rated the Rangers 4.5 to 1. That's pretty darn significant in the TV world and in what area viewers seem to favor.
That a gigantic difference, and gives me pause to wonder if Josh might have had a valid point. A must win game for the Rangers in order to secure at least one more game, and a so-so early season game for the Cowboys and there is this much separation between the size of the audience?
It was noted that in the 1 hour and 45 min. That the Rangers bumped up against the Cowboys the Rangers pulled a 6.7 rating. The Cowboys peaked at 29.6 early in the 4th quarter.
So, did Josh at least have a talking point? Still really happy the Rangers rid themselves of Hamilton, but does he not have at least a point about the area's sports preference?
