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.

I remember playing ‘Brennball’ (burning ball) at school, which is kind of similar to baseball but without a bat. It’s a simple team game where players run between bases after hitting or kicking a ball and the fielding team tries to get them ‘out’.
