Why does everyone (well you know what I mean) love baseball or cricket, but nobody seems to want to give the Finnish game of pesis a chance?

I'll bet not even ESPN has ever heard of this one.

This is probably because pesäpallo was only created between 1910-1920 and was developed and refined by Lauri "Tahko" Pihkala, who based it on baseball and some local games.
As the game is relatively young, this may explain why it is not as big, as the older more established sports, which are engrained into a persons lifestyle.
It will probably take decades before its' popularity is extended beyond where it is currently popular, such as in Finland, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, and Northern Ontario in Canada (Both Australia and Northern Ontario have high Finnish and Scandinavian populations).

existence is baseball, each little thing else is only element. For the purpose of your question, i'm going to offer it a try. a million. MLB (10) 2. college soccer (9) 3. NFL (9) 4. The Olympic video games (each 4 years) (9) 5. college Basketball (extremely distinctive from the NBA) (8) 6. song & field (7) 7. NHL (6) 8. WTA (6) 9. PGA (5) 10. NBA (i've got in no way enjoyed the pro recreation) (a million) Frankly i might somewhat watch a fence rust than watch an NBA recreation!

because both baseball and cricket are pretty much the same game there's just some major differences, and anyways people have heared of baseball and cricket in the first place no one has heared of pesis at all.

Well, people have different opinions.some people might just think they would never like it so they just don't give it a try.Some other people might just be hooked on whatever sport they are playing and just want 2 be commited to that

No one has ever heard of it, except probably the Fiinish. Probably why?
