I guess, but I've read(mainly during WWII anyways) many times about the Japanese playing baseball while on garrison duty on pacific islands, so it has been really popular. Not trying to say that we are not the only ones, I'm just saying that we need to acknowledge that other nations have their own top professional leagues like Japan(kinda like our MLS to England's EPL).
