Once again, baseball and softball are Olympic sports. The International Olympic Committee announced Wednesday that both baseball and softball have been approved for the 2020 games in Tokyo. Three other sports have been added as well.
Neither baseball nor softball were played in the 2012 Olympics in London, nor will they be played in the upcoming 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. IOC president Thomas Bach announced baseball and softball were approved for 2020 unanimously.
Back in 2005 both baseball and softball were voted out of the Olympics starting in 2012.
