When I was young the series rarely went 7 games. Now that it is fixed and liberal it goes 7 all the time. Stop watching bull crap.

Sorry, but you are simply making stuff up. The WS has always had plenty of 7-game outcomes. Over the past 7 decades the at least HALF of each year's WS went to 6-7 games. If anything, the last two decades have seen slightly FEWER series going to 6-7 games. It turns out that your assertion that MLB has worked it so the WS goes to more 7 game outcomes in recent years (for TV revenues) is entirely false. Don't believe me? Here are the actual numbers:

In how many years did a 6-7 game World Series occur?

2007-2016: 5 times

1997-2006: 4 times

1987-1996: 6 times

1977-1986: 8 times

1967-1976: 6 times

1957-1966: 7 times

1947-1956: 7 times
