The game wasn't a total success, of course, as evidenced by the fact that there was no upward movement in the TV ratings from last year. It was Fox that wanted to jazz things up by giving the home-field advantage in the World Series to the winning league. Then there was the Home Run Derby, where the ratings were nothing short of a disaster. The Hollywood Reporter noted Nielsen's numbers showing 3.76 million viewers this year, compared with 5.27 million in 2002. It was the smallest audience in the televised history of the event.
