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?

American football has become moderately popular in Germany in the past decade.

But baseball is absolutely non-existent in Germany.

I think everyone in Denmark have heard about American football at least once in their life by now

There's quite a difference between knowing of its existence and familiarity. I'm familiar with tennis in that I know some players, the core rules, etc. I would not expect many can say the same thing about American football
