I remember when World Series games were played during the day. They would announce the scores over the PA system at my elementary school.
I think it would work in the year 2000s. It is an unconventional and unlikely move. But it works for March Madness. It works for the Olympics.
We have TV problems positioning these start times in prime time due to the time zones.
I say throw the first pitch at 3:15 Eastern Time. if only I called the shots. lol
I will be honest. Joe Buck sort of ruins the World Series for me. I am used to the great broadcasters like Mel Allen, Red Barber, Vin Skully, Phil Rizzuto, etc.
Joe Buck has no personality and can’t tell a decent story like the great ones could. Why was he selected to announce these games?
Even Ronald Reagan at WHO radio was a better announcer than Joe Buck.

and it lasted 2 1/2 hours per game and didn’t end at 1am the next day.
I remember listening to WS games on transistor radios during elementary school study periods. The teachers relaxed the usual prohibitions. It was a great way to experience those games — of course we were all baseball freaks in those days. Baseball doesn’t command centerstage in the sportsworld the way it used to.
