[Nicaragua's "national sport" isn't soccer!? | Baseball uniforms overflowing in the streets]

[Nicaragua's "national sport" is not soccer!? | Baseball uniforms overflowing in the city] — You'll understand when you see it! Baseball is all you see on the streets of Nicaragua — If you think "Central America = soccer is the most popular", you're wrong! When you walk around Nicaragua, you'll actually see "baseball uniforms" everywhere in the city. Men and children are not wearing soccer, but baseball team uniforms ⚾️ ⸻ 📍[Places to observe] • Granada's old town, around the market • Along parks and streets • Sports shops, food stalls, and even mannequins in shopping malls! 🕰️[When is the best time to see it? ] The morning commute and school hours and around the parks in the evening are particularly crowded, and baseball fan fashion stands out. ⸻ ✨Recommended points • Baseball is the national sport! Baseball is overwhelmingly loved in Nicaragua, even more so than soccer. • It has become a part of the city's fashion. It's common to see people wearing the uniforms of local teams as everyday clothes. • There are players who have played in the MLB. Dennis Martinez, a legendary player from Nicaragua, is also a national hero. • A culture of cheering for the whole family. Baseball is the center of conversation in the community and at home, not just on game days! ⸻ 🎒 Tips • If you like baseball, check out the local team's games! If the schedule matches during your trip, watching a professional league (LBPN) game is also exciting! • Buy some spectator goods as a souvenir! It's also recommended to buy a cap or T-shirt with the team logo at the market or local shop. • It's also a great conversation topic with locals. Just ask, "What's your favorite team?" or "Do you watch MLB?" and you'll instantly become friends with them! #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Granada #Nicaragua
