Baseball hasn't always appeared at the Olympics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_Summer_Olympics), but it came a very long way from appearing at 1900 Paris World Fair (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposition_Universelle_(1900)). Baseball would appear as a demonstration sport in 1936 in Berlin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_1936_Summer_Olympics), 1956 in Australia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_1956_Summer_Olympics), 1960 in Tokyo, 1984 in Los Angeles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_1984_Summer_Olympics), and 1988 in South Korea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_1988_Summer_Olympics). Baseball then appeared for the first time in 1992 in Barcelona (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_1992_Summer_Olympics) and would go through 2008 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics) with Cuba, the United States, and South Korea winning Gold before appearing again in 2020 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics) as Japan won at home.
