Baseball is not really a thing outside of the US and Japan. So why would it be a thing outside of Earth?
And, at least in Europe, there are way more people that know at least the basics of bowling than baseball, and similar games have been played everywhere since time immemorial. Couple that with the relatively small playing field, without the need for too much vertical space, it’s a significant more attractive choice to have on a spaceship.

That’s because Khan took the ball home with him in a snit.
I thought according to SNW they don’t even need space suits outside on the hull… 🙃
