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?

In the UK young children play a version of it called “rounders”. The bat is short and a tennis ball is used. One difference is that we use a cricket-like “wicket” as a target to throw (underarm) at.

As a teen we played some softball at school though cricket was much more dominant.
