It means baseball, the exact word in finnish (notice the finnish
newsgroup hierarchy sfnet.*) is pesäpallo (note the two dots abowe the
first 'a'). It's a bit like american baseball, although the field is
different and pitches aren't made from a distance but vertically and
near the batter who tries to hit the ball when it's moving towards the
ground.

I found some good links about pesäpallo with google (don't now about the
validity, I didn't bother to check):

The official pages of the Finnish Baseball League can be found at:

Actually I just got home from a pesäpallo match between ViVe and SMJ;
unfortunately we lost and didn't get any points :(

HTH,
