baseball not in the olympics?

Question

i just heard baseball wasnt going to be in the olympics


is this true whats ur opinons

Answer 1

The IOC dropped baseball as a medal sport after 2008 -- so it won't be included in the 2012 games. The sport (well, whatever international governing body represents it) can apply to be re-instated for the 2016 summer games.

Answer 2

Baseball WILL be included in the 2008 Summer Olympics, here's the official web site stating it:

Also, be sure to check out these other great olympic sports: Softball, Shooting, Handball, and Table Tennis, some of the greatest athletes in the world will be vying for Olympic Gold in these sports including Badminton in China....woo-hoo, badminton, I hope Ortiz and Urlacher with be competing in '08.

Answer 3

well,baseball is obviously a sport that hasnt pread very well.USA,Canada,and Japan are the only countries i can think of that play baseball.it wudnt b fair if other countries had 2 enlist a team,but also had 2 find,train,and organize that team in only a year.

Answer 4

i believe so. I don't think baseball should be an olympic sport.

Answer 5

I don't think baseball is played in many countries....

Answer 6

baseball is too internationally limited
only japan, usa, mexico, puerto rico, and other latin american countries are actually represented.....
so it shouldnt be in the olympics
