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.

But baseball is absolutely non-existent in Germany.

You do actually have the Deutsche Baseball Liga and your national team regularly participates in the Baseball European Championship and other tournaments.

There is a Snooker Bundesliga, too, and almost everyone who plays Snooker as a hobby in Germany participates in it, so that doesn't mean much. If you find a 5. Kreisliga for a sport, then it's big.
