1。 In 2005, the International Olympic Committee held an important meeting in Singapore. At this meeting, representatives of member countries voted on 28 events of the Summer Olympic Games in a special way. Only with the approval of the majority of voters can these sports remain in the Olympic Games. The delegates voted one by one, and as a result, baseball and softball were out, while the number of votes for softball was 52 to 52, and baseball was less than 50.

Baseball and softball are not popular all over the world, and then American professional baseball refused to let players participate in the Olympic Games.

Personally, I think baseball and softball are not supported by most countries because of its higher material cost, insufficient international influence or uneven distribution of power among countries. Well, I hope baseball and softball will be popularized before returning to the Olympic Games.
