Unfortunately, baseball is too much of a regional sport; mostly played in the US, Canada, the Caribbean and South America, Taiwan and Japan. It's virtually unknown (or unfamiliar) everywhere else in the world.

If I remember correctly, it was a demonstration sport in 1984 and 1988, became a medal sport in 1992, 1996 and 2000.
