Pesäpallo, Finland's version of baseball, is faster and more exciting than the American game (Credit: Santeri Viinamäki /CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org)

Once considered America's national pastime, baseball is on a decline, especially among young Americans who seem to prefer more active sports such as football and basketball. But in Finland, the game's popularity is at an all-time high, especially in rural areas, where it is a favorite in schools and fans in stadiums often outnumber the local population. The reason? Pesäpallo, the Finnish version of baseball, is a faster-paced game that is exciting enough to keep fans of all ages at the edge of their seats!

            I learned that baseball players earn multi million dollars a year, and the game is really popular in rural.

                    This sport will never be implemented anywhere else, considering the craziness of the rules: (1) the bases are not even in an organized pattern, (2) the foul lines run to the back, meaning that a ball blasted to the back is a foul ball, (3) you can score 2 runs on the same play, (4) the pitcher is literally standing by the home plate, which ruins the whole point of baseball, and (5) there are usually no fences and if a ball runs into a river, you have to retrieve it. It's a wacky sport made by a guy who thought the pitches thrown by the pitcher in American baseball were too hard to hit therefore he had to make it easier.

                      The reason it is nonfiction is because it has dates, and tells you how to play
