	This move galvanized the interest in baseball, as new stadiums could be financed with the revenues from formalized ball clubs, and lay viewership of baseball games increased as a result. During the First Commonwealth, as Haesanites gained more access to the wealth from its manufacturing and ports after the ouster of the colonial government, going to the ballpark became a popular middle class recreational activity. The 1920s saw a burst of power hitting that made the sport faster paced and more exciting than its alternatives, further driving interest in the game.

	[[File:1950s baseball.jpeg\|thumb\|297x297px\|Baseball exploded in popularity during the Free Republic, driven in part by widespread coverage of the game over radio and eventually television.]]In 1926, the Haesan Baseball Organization also was a popular baseball league, and in the mid 1930s as the economy turned south, the leagues decided that they could not withstand the economic competition and decided to merge. Condensing ~~out~~ the Baseball Organization's teams that were in the same markets, the HNL ~~explanded~~ from 6 teams to 10. After the [[April Coup]] in 1942, military rule came to Haesan, and the government decided that sports fandom was a useful tool to keep the populace happy and less concerned with politics. As a result, the government heavily funded the HNL, and financed the construction of new stadiums, investment in domestically manufactured equipment to world-class standards, and financed the HNL All-Star team to represent Haesan at international competitions. As a result, during the reign of the Free Republic, baseball became akin to a national sport, with a lot of pride and energy going into supporting its growth.

	The [[Haesanite National League]] (해산 야구 리그) is the top flight of [[Haesan\|Haesanite]] baseball, founded in 1914 and held continuously since 1970. 32 teams compete for the [[Astral Cup]], the national championship of Haesanite baseball. Two teams are relegated to the [[Second League]] at the conclusion of each season, and replaced with the champion and runner-up of the Second League.

	=== HNL Draft ===		=== HNL Draft ===
	Every year, talented amateur and university players declare for the [[HNL Draft]], held in February every year. Each HNL team is entitled to one pick in the first three rounds, starting with the two newly promoted teams, where the Second League champion gets the first overall pick, followed by the Second League runner-up. The draft then proceeds through the non-relegated HNL teams in order of worst record to best record in the prior season. At least 100 players are selected in the first phase of the draft, as three rounds of this selection order proceed, followed by at least four compensatory picks for teams who had players forced into retirement by injury or teams that had picks voided by relegation. This first phase is followed by a second phase of four rounds, where the 30 Second League teams get to draft players from the remaining talent pool. Those not drafted in the first two phases are free to sign with any team in the league ladder. Rights to draft picks may be freely traded; however, if a newly promoted team had traded away their 4th-7th round draft picks while still in the Second League, those picks do not transfer to the first three, and the team will be awarded compensatory picks during that round instead. The same is true of newly relegated teams; their HNL draft picks are not converted to Second League picks, but rather the team holding those picks will be awarded compensation picks in the first three rounds instead.

	As Lagarde came back to power in 1972, he once again made baseball a policy priority. The first expansion of the HNL took place in 1973 bumping the league up to 16 teams, and a major rules overhaul was announced alongside it, introducing the baseball league system and the unique promotion and relegation system that is critical to modern Haesanite baseball. This autocratic era also saw major regulations put in place to crack down on performance enhancing drugs, as over a dozen players were arrested in 1983 on suspicion of drug use, and the result was a drastic reduction in offensive play due to fear of blowback. Somewhat quelling this "dead-ball era" was the fact that bans on ~~resin~~ and other pitching aids were also enforced in the name of "Haesanite respectability." The early 80s saw a sharp decline in viewership numbers as fans left for intense rivalries in football.		As Lagarde came back to power in 1972, he once again made baseball a policy priority.
