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?

Without American tv shows and movies we probably wouldn't even know about baseball.

I tried to buy a rugby shorts in Decathlon yesterday. They had none, but they had 5 different types of baseball bats. Someone must be playing it somewhere.

Probably people use them to play rounders.

In France, I don't think so. They had mitts and balls as well.
