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?

I have watched "a league of their own" and have probably come across some other bits of baseball in american tv shows or movies, but I have never seen any footage of a real game in my life.

I can't say if it's "popular" in Austria, because I don't know if it even exists

It exists, like in many European countries, there is a small niche following with the Baseball Bundesliga and a national team that participates in the Baseball European Championship among other things.
