    Hmm, I guess I have forgotten the exact dialog, as it was over 10 years ago since I watched that. I guess the implication is that it didn’t survive as a professional competitive sport? Because there definitely are teams that play it at least casually - and I went to check, it was indeed a Vulcan baseball team that challenged Sisco https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Logicians - so I’d argue it still has survived to some degree, no?

      The whole point of that episode was that Sisko and Solok had been competing with each other for years and Solok put together and trained a baseball team specifically to challenge Sisko.

      The one place that baseball was still regularly played by the time of DS9 was Cestus III, which is how Kasidy Yates knew about it. Her brother played baseball there.
