Why in the world are they bringing back baseball?

They had a hissy fit and dropped it years ago because MLB refused to halt their season and allow top-tier players to compete in the Olympics. Can’t imagine they changed their minds on that.

And why in the world is golf an olympic sport now? Aren't there enough PGA tour events?

I had to laugh when I heard one tour professional on why he turned down the olympics. He said there was no prize money......LOL!
