While the Toronto Blue Jays may have come up short, Game 7 was watched by an astonishing number of people.
The World Series finale drew an average audience of 10.9 million Canadians, over 25% of the population of Canada.
According to Rogers, those numbers meant that it was most-watched Rogers broadcast ever.
While the average was 10.9 Million, right after Ernie Clement came to bat with two on and two out in the ninth inning, Canada had an average of nearly 14 Million people watching.
This was not the first viewership record the Blue Jays broke this season. Earlier, their season finale on September 30th had also broken viewership records.
