Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. USA Baseball was founded in 1978, and is the governing body for amateur baseball in the United States of America. It is a member of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and organizes the U.S. Olympic baseball team. In 2000, USA Baseball was named the USOC Team of the Year. USA Baseball organizes various teams composed of High School, College, and Professional baseball players competing nationally and internationally. In the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, baseball was a demonstration sport, but Team USA captured a silver and gold respectively. During the 1996 games in Atlanta, Georgia, the team won the bronze medal. In 2000, for the first time ever, the team was composed of minor league players. Guided by Tommy Lasorda, the team defeated two-time champion Cuba to capture the gold medal. However, the team failed to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics as they lost a qualifying tournament that saw them lose to Mexico in an elimination game during the quarter-final round.
