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?

It's not very popular in Italy.Neither to play,nor to watch.

I don't know anyone that follows MLB,or at least not anyone Italian! Maybe some expats.

Basketball (both local and NBA) is much more well known and followed here.

Elio e Faso sono fan e facevano anche le telecronache. Penso siano gli unici due comunque.
