RED, WHITE, AND BLUE BALLS

With the naming of Tommy Lasorda as manager of the US. Olympic team, interest is high in Olympic baseball. This is the official site of the US Olympic baseball team, and features all the latest information that you'll need to follow the team as they go for the gold in Australia. This is the first year that professional players will be used in the Olympics, and while the Major Leaguers will be in the middle of pennant races, it should be very interesting to see which minor league studs are selected to represent. The list of U.S. team alumni reads like a who's who of Major League stars. So keep an eye on this site as the summer progresses and also enjoy loads of information on past Olympic baseball history. Trivia: Who holds the record for most home runs for the US team during a season? Mark McGwire? Nope. It's Tino Martinez with 20.
