Nelson George’s documentary “Say Hey, Willie Mays!” (Fox, 9 p.m.) highlights the stellar life and baseball career of the Hall of Fame champ who hit 660 home runs and earned 12 Golden Glove awards. Just the kind of thing to entertain you at a time when baseball is over for months and the country is deeply divided.
Speaking of which, Midterm Election Results (MSNBC, 6 p.m.; CNN, 7 p.m.; ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, 8 p.m.) begin to trickle in slowly, starting to point a direction for the country. Normally I would be promoting all of the news teams and their shiny interactive maps and armies of analysts.

A money angle is found on “CNBC Special Report: Business on the Ballot” (CNBC, 8 p.m.).
One of the sharpest, underrated comedians has a new standup special, “Neal Brennan Blocks” (Netflix, streaming).
A second season begins for “Below Deck Adventure” (Bravo, 9 p.m.) with a charter to a carving expedition.
“Beyond Oak Island” (History, 9 p.m.) has a finale, though I have a feeling that it won’t ever end.
Pizza in Salem, Mass. is the locale for the season finale of “Man vs. Food” (Cooking, 9 p.m.).
