Eurocentrism rears its ugly head again......
Maybe, but I think that is the pot calling the kettle black coming from a country that brings us "world championship" race series such as the one in the OP, where all the races are within the same country and only mid to southern states of said country at that.
How many of those countries you mentioned linked to that apparently take baseball seriously regularly enter the world series? I thought it was just North America, but admittedly I know very little about baseball.
I wish I could say that about RC boating, but I suspect it is closer to two hundred thousand than two hundred million, on the other hand I suspect that if we went by the number of adults regularly participating themselves,rather than speculating, then the numbers would be MUCH closer together. We have four baseball leagues in the England and compete in the European championships, so I know it is played outside North America, however the average man on the street certainly does not care about it here, the only baseball player I or most people I know could name is "Babe" Ruth, and even then I didn't know his name wasn't really Babe until I wiki'd it.
