Paris and Baseball...Olympic Rejects

After rejecting the city of Paris earlier this week, the Olympic committee decided yesterday that Baseball and Softball will not be included in the 2012 summer program. The IOC stated that Olympic Baseball does not draw top athletes and is therefore, unappealing.

Meanwhile handball, shooting, and archery are retained as Olympic events and are expected to have widespread appeal and become all the craze.
