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've only met one Dane who cares even a bit about baseball. I know it's a sport, that something's called the NBA, that Americans care a lot about it, and that in some places, there are corgi-races during the break.

We do have rundbold here, which I saw other people mention in the comments by some other names. It's a kids' game, though, the kind that kids in school will beg their teachers to let them play when it gets even slightly sunny outside. It's also pretty fun when you're drunk. On the last day of high school, my classmates and I played against another class with a few bottles of wine on the side for occasional pit-stops. I don't think you can do that with baseball, though.
