Reply to comment by Salesman89 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

The Netherlands is currently ranked 5th in the world rankings. Italy is ranked 11th and Germany, 17th.

There is a baseball World Cup. Because something isn’t well known where you live, it might still exist.
