Oh that might be true. By here, I mean Norway though, not the whole world minus the US! :p:

It's also quite big in Saudi Arabia.

(still a really really boring sport)

In former British colonies like Jamaica sure. But in the Spanish-speaking countries like the Dominican Republic and Cuba baseball is really popular.

Well, you did say "something that happens in America and that's about it".

Interesting, I never knew that.

I agree about it being boring though.

yep, saudi arabia is always a pretty big participant in the world little league championships (how's that for random piece of information). Football is definitely still the most popular sport in the country, but baseball does have a pretty large following. A lot of the kids I grew up with played for the saudi little league team in the world championships.

Ok thanks, I had a feeling baseball is a sport that's popular in certain countries only. There's a lot of professional players from the Dominican and Cuba, and a good chunk of others are from Japan.

Yeah it's boring to watch but fun to play. I've been playing baseball for several years now.

Baseball is pretty popular in Northern Ireland.

Oh wait no that's punishment beatings.

As far as I know, in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Venezuela. There, it's even popular amongst the most ridiculous tyrants.

They just like the idea of hitting balls with bats I suppose.

Castro is holding an aluminum bat so they are definitely not in Major League Baseball; they must be working their way through the farm system.

It's got quite a large following in Australia, my brother played baseball for many years and I think the following in Aus may have something to do with the popularity in Asian countries (Australia is very close to Asia). I remembered when he played they state and national teams were always going to places like Japan and Korea and playing teams from there.

But it's nowhere near as big as Aussie Rules Football, the NRL, netball, tennis, or other sports which are very popular here.
