/ppg/ - pesäpallo general

I'm pretty sure this sport doesn't actually exist. The ""popularity"" of it is hammered into our brain in government controlled schools and ""highlights"" always shown purely on the government owned (((national broadcasting company))) but I have NEVER EVER in my life met anyone who either plays or has ever in their life played pesäpallo.

I think it was a ploy to evoke national pride after the war or something but I don't know why they still keep it up.

>finnish baseball

maybe you just don't live in bumfuck-nowhereville.

you look at the teams in superpesis and all of them are from some small village

must be where the sport's fans are from too.

So David Ortiz can continue his career?

MLB stadiums are 390-436 feet long. that is 118m-132m

pesäpallo field is 105-115m measured from the hitter or 140m if all the ""play"" area behind them is counted in as well.

if that image were accurate MLB stadiums would be about 50 meters long

>compared to MLB infield

that approximate size is completely off anyway.

pesapallo field is about the same as the distance between 1st and 3rd base, this is more accurate

also this sport is shit

Pesäpallo, the best sport
