The thing that still gets me, even a day later, is that when Gordon was running there were at least 500K or more people irrationally yelling "GO! GO! GO!" at a tv in a unified cause, trivial though it may be. I was curious to try and put a number to it, if possible.

Kansas City turned out in force to watch the finale of their Royals’ thrilling postseason run, posting its highest metered market rating for any MLB game on record - 58.3/77. (Note: Kansas City was not a metered market during the Royals’ last World Series appearance in 1985). San Francisco’s 38.8/64 was the best MLB rating for the Bay Area since Game 7 of the 2002 World Series.

I think that's the HH rating there and with 923,290 HH in the market, figure, 538,278 HH based on that rating, typically around 1.5 people watching per HH ... give or take probably around 750,000 people in the Kansas City DMA were screaming simultaneously.
