#1 \| 321 days ago Dream_Machine (+)	Wasn't Tug-O-War a Previous Event In The 1900's? Oh, And You Definitely Know Why Baseball Ain't In There... Steroids Much? 1. Rugby 2. Cricket 3. Bowling 4. Baseball 5. Squash

#2 \| 321 days ago ML31 (+)	Steroids has absolutely nothing to do with why baseball is no longer on the program. The reason is the IOC wants the MLB players in the Olympic Tournament. MLB will not allow their players to leave during the season and will not suspend their season so players could play. And rightly so. In retaliation, the IOC essentially said, "If you won't send your best then we just wont have the tournament." And that was that. 1. Baseball 2. Softball 3. Rugby 4. Cricket 5. Golf

That Was My Second Answer, And I Had A feeling I Was Wrong while Wingin' It With the Steroids Bit. I Wonder, Why Won't The (All of It) Olympics Just Go Back to The Amateurs. I Mean, Can You Imagine Paquiao and Mayweather Representing The Philippines And the United States Respectively in Boxing, Lol. Might Be The Only Way to Get Those in the Ring Together. Pro Boxing To The Olympics... Promoters Worst Nightmare. 1. Rugby 2. Cricket 3. Bowling 4. Baseball 5. Squash

#4 \| 315 days ago jaysinw (+)	I would love to netball and jousting in the Olympics, along with baseball, softball, rugby and cricket. With out the 1984 squad I wonder how long it would have taken Jim Abbott to make it the the Majors. 1. Baseball 2. Softball 3. Cricket 4. Tug-O-War 5. Rugby

#5 \| 315 days ago jaysinw (+)	Cannot believe I forgot to add it but LACROSSE!!! Yes Lacrosse should be an Olympic sport it is fast pace controlled aggression. 1. Baseball 2. Softball 3. Cricket 4. Tug-O-War 5. Rugby

#6 \| 312 days ago ML31 (+)	Yeah, Lacrosse could very well have been on the list but I took the list from some website that listed sports recognized by the IOC as potential Olympic sports. Lacrosse wasn't on it. In order to be on the IOC's radar I think the sport needs to be played in a certain number of countries and have international federations for that sport. 1. Baseball 2. Softball 3. Rugby 4. Cricket 5. Golf
