MLB Won't Change Schedule For Olympics 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Apr 26, 2013 4:27 am

MLB won't change its schedule to boost it's chances of getting back into the Olympics, according to an ESPN.com report on Thursday.


Baseball was an Olympic sport from 1992-2008, then was dropped for last year's London Games. IOC President Jacques Rogge says baseball should make its top athletes available, as they are in basketball and hockey.


"Look, we can't stop our season in August. We just can't," Bud Selig told the Associated Press Sports Editors.
