Another way to say it is:
It seems that baseball is not as popular among children as it used to be.
B) is stating that baseball is no longer that popular among children.. as in they used to like it much more in the past.
both sentences are well worded and make sense but they have different meanings
(A) It seems that baseball is not as popular as it was is among children.
(B) It seems that baseball is not as popular among children as it was as it used to be.
