Description

Baseball was brought to Krasnoyarsk, Siberia in Feb. 1987. See http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1993-04-05/features/9304080005_1_baseball-program-winter-sports-baseball-expert 

By 1993 it had a little league team.

The Cheyenne Transporter (Darlington, OK), Nov. 30, 1885 reports that "Baseball is now played in Siberia," having been introduced by the convict guards to reward the convicts for good behavior.It is uncertain how reliable this report is.
