How many people like baseball?

Answer 1

A poll in late 2012 found that 53% of adult Americans identify themselves as fans of Baseball. In 2013 the number of US adults was about 242 million. This would mean about 128 million adults are fans of baseball.

If youth are fans of baseball in the same percentages as adults, that would mean 167 million Americans who like baseball.

The sport is also very popular in many countries in Latin America, but even estimates of the percentages of that population who are fans of the sport are not available.

Answer 2

Although polls show different numbers, baseballs fan popularity has actually seemed to increase in the past 10 years. Approximately 60% of Americans call themselves baseball fans.
