I really didn't know baseball was a thing outside US and Japan, very interesting! Thats such a shame, I mean it can be such a great way to bring money into the country. Look at how much money European clubs send into Brazil every year for their best players its a reasonable part of their GDP and their players are now all over the world
Also if more players come from the region clubs and brands would probably follow bringing in alot more wealth to the country. I really hope the situation turns around, seems like the country is almost in exile from the rest of the world at the moment
Many of the players who play in the major leagues are Latinos. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Venezuela are the countries with the most players in the major leagues. The case you put with the soccer players in Brazil is a good example to visualize not only the fame and money that can get an athlete, but also the country, which benefits indirectly. Thank you very much for that excellent comment. Greetings, @chekohler
