I think baseball's popularity is tied to a particular era of larger-scale social organization that has passed. You need 15-20 people even to reasonably play a short-handed game. There's no real small-scale variant, like for other sports.
Might this explain why baseball used to be so popular? For years it was the only sport that could be enjoyably broadcast.https://twitter.com/nickschulz/status/1167237129778413568 …

Baseball was king in an era of large families, large workplaces, churches that people actually attended, fraternal organizations, and conscription. Society is chopped down to atoms today.
