At the time, the 2000 World Series had the lowest World Series ratings all time (before 2002, 2008, and 2010 did worse).
Why did it fail so bad?
It was a series between two big-market teams, and it was loaded with star power. You had Mike Piazza, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera, and Roger Clemens, etc.
There was a nice back-story, with the two being cross-town NY rivals, and there was Piazza vs Clemens.
Every game was close, decided by either 1-2 runs.
Again -why were the ratings poor?
