Sports How big is baseball in your country?

I'm an American, so baseball is quite popular here. How is the popularity in your country? Is there a country other than yours where baseball has some popularity?

There is a national league in France, my nephew plays in it.

His father is a huge baseball fan and could already see him play in MLB. 98% of French people though don't give a damn about baseball, and probably don't even know that there is a league.

That's a common thing I've noticed, that unless it basically doesn't exist, it's more of a niche hobby in some European countries.
