Anyone know of places to watch baseball games? Does anyone in Finland watch baseball?

I watch baseball but it's via MLB.TV.

Try contacting someone at the Finnish Baseball and Softball Federation:

And if you're going to go watch the guys play ball, go cheer for the girls, too

We need somewhere to stream our MLB TV. Hmm, is Finnish baseball good? I started playing pesäpallo, that's entertaining.

I was once blacked out of a game on MLB TV, which seems impossible, but if we're blacked out then the game is showing somewhere in the country and maybe some place would be showing it.

Eh, silly me, I thought you meant live They play American baseball in various places around
Finland. The link I gave you is for American baseball, not Finnish baseball.

Finnish baseball is played *everywhere* in Finland, so find a field in the summer and someone
will be playing. I like playing Finnish baseball since I can't just smack one out of the field and get
a homerun like I do in American baseball and softball. Requires more tactics than American
baseball Plus I always forget which direction to run (towards what would be third base for
Americans) when I play Finnish baseball.

I like both, but I'm funny that way

Was your account reregistered here in Finland or somewhere in the states? I still use my account that was set up in the states, so once in a blue moon I will get blacked out.
