Baseball voted out
U.S. runner Lou Marson slides into home plate to score for the U.S., avoiding Cuban catcher Ariel Pestano in the men's semifinal baseball game during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Aug. 22, 2008. Since 1936, the only sports to be excluded from the Olympic program were baseball and softball, which were both voted out by the IOC Session in Singapore on July 11, 2005.
