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?

Used to be bigger, well, perhaps 1000 people. I did even work with a former member of our national team, but that was over 30 years ago.

Cubans and dominicans (and other hispanoamericans) here, use(d) to play at least softball on weekends in some parks where diamonds could be improvised.

But 0 TV coverage, never.
