When the first "official" pitch was thrown, on July 26, 1992, at L’Hospitalet Stadium in Barcelona, Spain, history was made and more than 80 years of hard work by amateur baseball officials worldwide had finally paid off. On that day, baseball made its debut as an official Olympic sport. No more demonstration games. This time it was for an official gold medal. The Early Years Baseball was first introduced as part of the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden. In this competition, as well as the next four Olympic appearances, baseball was a one-game exhibition played by athletes already competing at the games in other events. On July 15, a team from the United States downed the Swedish Vesteras Club 13-3, and Olympic baseball was born. After a 24-year hiatus, baseball reappeared as part of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Although other countries had planned to send teams for the tournament, none of them did, so the USA squad split into two teams and played a night game before a world record crowd reported to be 125,000. The World Amateurs defeated the USA Olympics by a score of 6-5.
