The New York Yankees' 27th World Series victory was watched by an average of 21.15 million viewers on Fox Wednesday night -- nearly as many as tuned in to the other three networks combined. During the 8:30 p.m. half hour, 23.63 million were watching, according to Nielsen Research. Despite the strong ratings, CBS drew decent numbers throughout the night, with Criminal Minds attracting 11.98 million viewers and CSI: NY, 11,64 million. The Jay Leno Show once again pulled in the fewest number of viewers of any network TV show Wednesday with just 4.73 million. Meanwhile, Fox News's Sean Hannity and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann each ditched their live telecasts Wednesday night and headed out to Yankee Stadium instead. Olbermann posted a (very blurry) picture of his cross-town rival, who was seated next to him during the game. The photo was captioned: "And lastly, a reminder that baseball does erase boundaries. The guy I'm taking a photo of, who's taking a photo of me -- we get along perfectly at the ballpark -- less so during our day jobs."
