I have heard a couple reasons which seen to have a grain of truth. 1) it takes a lot of infrastructure to play baseball. Mainly land for the field. Schools would often provide a field but not so much these days. 2) basketball has more immediate gratification and is easier to get a game going. You can ever play solo if no one is around to join you
