Reply to comment by Uranus_Hz in TIL In The 1930s, Baseball rivaled Soccer In England, attracting 10,000 spectators per game. In 1938, at the inaugural Baseball World Cup, Great Britain defeated the USA 4 games to 1. The outbreak of WWII interrupted the sports ascendancy, and it never recovered its prewar popularity. by contextual_somebody

Baseball is one of the most popular sports on earth with more fans than Rugby or Golf. There are a few international events, including the quadrennial World Baseball Classic. Japan holds the most titles.

Sidenote, The Netherlands currently holds the fifth spot on the global rankings.

Sidenote #2. Your outlook is almost stereotypically American.
