Question
When I first read this question the first thing that came to mind was the decade of the 1970s. But baseball likes metrics so I looked up some numbers. I looked at year by year World Series viewership and this is what I found. The highest average Series game viewership for any year 1968 to 2024 was in 1978. The 1978 World Series had 44.279 million viewers, the highest ever. Compare this to 1998 with 20.34 million viewers or the lowest all-time in 2023 with 9 million viewers. So yes according to this baseball peaked in 1978.
