SINGAPORE – Baseball and softball were dropped from the Olympic program for the 2012 Games on Friday.
Each of the 28 existing sports was put to a secret ballot by the International Olympic Committee, and baseball and softball failed to receive a majority required to stay on the program.
The IOC will consider replacing them with two sports from a waiting list of five sports: golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports.
