Short answer: No. Italy has a baseball at a (very) minor league level, but it plays mostly in spring. MLB isn’t available except on computers (though Sky TV, the cable outlet, does carry NASN, the North American Sports Network; it does cover the playoffs and the World Series). Sports bars are no answer. Baseball here is like soccer in much of North America, an afterthought or less. Nice legends persist, including the one about Joe DiMaggio visiting Nettuno, Italy’s baseball capital, a decade after his retirement and, on a dare, taking pitches and swatting one 500 feet into the Mediterranean Sea. Old-timers swear it happened.
