After the Beijing Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) once said that there won’t be any more baseball games in the 2012 Olympiad. It is said that because the USA wouldn’t let their Major League Baseball (MLB) players play in the Olympic event. However, this is quite different from the basketball category in which there are all-star NBA players. Moreover, the Olympic in 2012 is going to take place in London, and they don’t want to build a baseball field for a thrill that only lasts two or three weeks. But now, the MLB Association is willing to let the MLB players compete in the Olympic Games. The MLB games will postpone for three weeks during the Olympiad. So maybe the IOC will let baseball return to the games in 2016. If so, that will be a great news.
