We've already got it here it's called rounders and is played primarily by children and drunk adults at family picnics.
Ryder Myers
why bother
europe can only handle football, then volleyball and tennis whenever it is on
then there's cricket
cricket comes from the british isles and cricket has long history in continental europe that is only growing bigger as all the brown people who played it in their home countries immigrate
also cricket is more fun/easier to play in the street as children compared to baseball
I didn't answer your question
really the answer is to get children interested in it which then they grow up with and get more involved in developing the sports cultural basis
it would probably take maybe 60 years before you would see any resemblance of the american or japaness competition
and then again good luck going up against poverty ball

send a pallet of wiffle ball shit to every elementary school. mostly you could just give the balls away but the basics need to be taught to overcome the simple minded ball chasing of soccer.
Bentley Thompson
Why do Nips are obsessed with an amerimutt's sport?
Ethan Robinson
Export arabs and import japs
Jackson Miller
Because having a large presence of occupying americans and an actual need to fill the culture vacuum left by nearly getting destroyed.
Justin Morgan
but we already have cricket
Sebastian Hill
europe is too poor for baseball
Dominic Reed
>wanting europoors to like baseball
Leo Ortiz
Don't think they had a choice about it desu
Hunter Phillips
why does britain feel the need to always hate america?
Julian Adams
every place should have batting cages. batting cages are based, I guess they're not that popular because it's not as social as bowling or topgolf. also it's harder, and quicker. still based though
they loved it long before the war
Carson Torres
Because they're envious that we took over the world and they're now more irrelevant than Russia
They're our lapdog now
Gavin Gray
Good taste :^)
Camden Phillips
I wanted to play baseball as a kid, but the only teams in here all near the capital. Where I was born you would wither either play futbol like every other kid or if you were rich, you could go into tennis.
Brody Gonzalez
They would just play footie with those just like they already do with tennis balls.
Blake Young
>British education
Zachary Reyes
Focus on pushing Netherlands to the next level then set up leagues in neighbouring countries.
Jason Smith
Fuck off, Pajeet. Only a swarthy southern manlet from the inbred mountai ranges of the alps would mention fucking volleyball and forget about the second biggest team sport, handball.
Leo Clark
why do japs have these retarded batting stances all the time?
John Scott
the pseudo series that was held at wembley was attended by north Americans living in and around the capital. We have cricket which covers both aspects of baseball: 90% of the game where fuck all happens so people drink and make beer snakes and the other 10% with actual bat on ball contact is T20 pyjama nonsense with pyrotechnics
Daniel Bell
We already have pesäpallo which is far more interesting and athletic.
Dominic Stewart
>Baseball
>American
Gavin Gomez
i know several brits that went to the sox/yanks series. they said it was full of yuros too.
Lucas Lewis
All Dutch players are from the Carribian
Mason Murphy
You act as us americans don’t have players with shit stances. Just look at anthony rendon
Parker Russell
never because it's shit
I don't even call it a sport. A sport is something you can play any time even if it rains.
Ayden Lewis
make it faster
Parker White
yeah, a few players do. every other jap seemingly has some ridiculous gimmick stance though. don't be a weeb dweeb
Bentley Wood
they watch and read baseball anime/manga
Caleb Phillips
Soccer is already a better sport so it will never happen
Caleb Rodriguez
still the best baseball country in europe though. rick van den hurk was a good NPB pitcher for many years, probably like a third of their players on their WBC teams are european, mostly pitchers
also I've asked this before but now he's an all star tier player, any recognition at all of Max Kepler in Germany? I'm guessing not at all, he's been a hell of a player this season but he gets almost no recognition here either, wasn't an all star even though he should have been. He just broke the single season home run record for a european born player, still a quarter of the season to go. twins are not a popular team.
Christopher Gray
I went, it was my first baseball game, loved it.
Anthony Gray
Summer Koshien made me love baseball even tho I don't know shit about it. MLB threads are too confusing for me tho
Dominic Miller
Yuropoopies are too dumb
Joseph Butler
Let them just enjoy their soccer
Gavin Cruz
Only if it's Finnish baseball.
On a more serious note, Youtube have been streaming a couple games recently, which I've watched, some/most of. Seems alright.
Robert Rogers
Caleb Reed
you dont
Lincoln Moore
We already have hurling my japanese friend :)
Nicholas Richardson
Its dying in america too. Is it healthy in japan?
Tyler Williams
baseball really isn't expensive unless you're trying to buy the latest and greatest equipment all the time.
Logan Hall

Camden Williams
>tfw your family was a new york baseball giants family
Hudson Russell
handball is a meme and play at the top level is boring
>get ball then whole team passes back and forth around semicircle until they believe they find an opening
>possession changes and the same shit happens at the opposite end of the court
the middle of the court does not get used
even womens meme netball is a more varied game at all levels
Matthew Rodriguez
It's too boring. Nobody wants to watch this shit.
Isaiah Cox
How many Bulgarians are on Yea Forums? You're fucking everywhere
Chase Ortiz
I watch baseball. There's a field near me but it's only for women so I usually hide in the bushes and stroke myself
