You can scrap the Netherlands from that, because it's not anywhere close to that.

And herein lies the problem, I checked whether anyone other than Netherlands & Italy won the baseball EC. If you don't give a damn about this sport nobody in Europe ever will and it's a dead duck for the Olympic fanbase. I guess you can fill out the stands with school children, off-duty volunteers and members of the army to make it look like that someone has actually showed up! (I mean for Games outside of USA & Japan).

Or play in small stadiums. I mean, like with any sport there's always a (small) group of people who actually like it. But a stadium for 10.000+ people, nah, that'll just look pathetic :p

It would be the Olympics, that rules out "small stadiums" by default? Small would be U17 women's football tournament but not the Olympics.

in fact I gave another kind of interpretation for NED and ITA...

the question is about the games being well attended in case the Olympic Games were in certain Countries...

and I explained that in most cases that's a no brainer, as it happened even in the past in non-baseball related Countries like Greece or China and despite there were no superstars of the game either in those Games...

 

p.s. I'm pretty sure that should NED one day host the Olympics, Baseball (and Softball) would have very good attendance...just because it's the Olympics, no matter the local interest could be in the other 350 days of the year...;)

and the same is for many other Nations...

Sure, if the tickets are not too expensive, probably some people will come and watch the grass grow with something happening in between every few minutes for a few seconds :p

Ah, one of my favorite events of the year.

Honestly one of the best end of summer traditions in America. All the games live on TV, and the bring our all the production stops. Plus, something stupid almost always happens.
