I've played baseball for a few years, and it has a fair share of followers in the Netherlands. Also the Netherlands is and has been the strongest national team in Europe for years. I think the European championships have had a Netherlands - Italy final for as long as I can remember. Which just shows the sport is small in Europe as a whole.

Dutch team managed to become world champion in 2011 defeating Cuba,although it was more a Netherlands & Antilles team. Obviously the world champions doesn't compare to the world series, but it does show baseball has a serious following around here.

Also we have 2 rather big tournaments, The Haarlem Baseball Week and the Rottedam World Port Tournament.

I might go watch it in person, would watch on the tele for sure.
