PREVIOUSLY, 1:21 PM: The Yankees vs. White Sox game set in the cornfields of Field of Dreams was a home run for Fox, which took the top place in Thursday ratings and viewership.
The Iowa match, which saw the White Sox triumph 9-8, a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.16 million viewers, per fast affiliates. As will all big live events including sports and awards shows, the early MLB numbers are not time-zone adjusted and subject to change. That said, MLB won over the primetime crowd, potentially thanks to a cameo from Field of Dreams star Kevin Costner.
