Huh.
I've been interested in baseball for more than 20+ years, ever since I got 'Bad News Baseball' for the NES when I was a little kid in the early 90s. (The NES was a hand-me-down from my cousins and it was impossible to find new game cartridges for it in India - so that was one of the 3 games I was stuck with).
My interest has waxed and waned over the years, but I still try and follow the headlines and the trades between teams (there are 30 teams in the league and each team play 160+ games over a season).
At the same time, I think it's pointless for India to invest in a sport when there is little to no following. Instead, it would make more sense to sink our resources in other global sports like football, tennis, basketball (maybe) which average people understand and can follow.
There is a baseball federation in India. About 3-4 years back I did a bit of cursory research on them. Like most sports feds, they had an ancient looking website, it seemed to be filled with more office bearers/ politicians than players. I may be wrong, and I hope the situation has improved since then.
That said, baseball is called America's pastime, and I can understand why. It is really relaxing to watch.
P.S. The MLB season is over for now, the Houston Astros won the World Series (unfortunately). But for people looking to get into baseball, Jomboy on Youtube is a good option, he makes bite-sized breakdowns from baseball games . Once the regular season starts next year, Youtube usually livestreams a 'game of the week' on the official MLB channel (though Indian timings may be an issue). Try and catch a game sometime.
