The first-ever international baseball event was a series of exhibition
games that took place during the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis,
MO. (USA). The exhibition was so successful that baseball, as an
exhibition event, was repeated at the 1912 Olympic Games in
Stockholm, Sweden. These two events laid the groundwork for the
rise in popularity that the game saw internationally in the 1930s.
In 1936, a baseball exhibition was held at the Olympic Games
in Berlin. This exhibition was an enormous success as 92,565
spectators filled the Olympic Stadium to watch a game between
two American teams.
Following the success of Berlin, in August 1938, the first Baseball
World Cup was held in London. With the participation of just two
teams, the United States and Great Britain, a series of five games
was played. The British team won four of the five games. This
was followed by the formation of the International Baseball
Federation (IBF).
For many years following, the Baseball World Cup hosted only
two to four countries at a time, but in 1950, international baseball
had a breakthrough – the 11th Annual Baseball World Cup took
place in Managua, Nicaragua, with a record participation of 12
countries. In what was the largest Baseball World Cup to date,
Cuba was proclaimed champions.
Over the next 30 years, international baseball prospered throughout the world (highlighted by over 100,000 spectators taking in
another baseball demonstration game at the 1956 Olympic Games
in Melbourne). As time went on, continents formed their own
baseball federations and countries began creating and hosting their
very own global tournaments, such as the Pan American Games
and the Asian Championships. The game of baseball was growing
at a rapid rate.
It was during this period of time that Cuba entrenched itself as
an international baseball power. With countries all over the world
striving to match their talent level, baseball was being pushed
further into the forefront of the worldwide sports scene, and by
extension, into the minds of the International Olympic Committee.
When it was announced in early 1978 that the 1984
Olympic Games were to take place in Los Angeles, LA. (USA),
Peter O’Malley, President and Owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
organized a meeting that was attended by virtually every
delegate from the 37 countries affiliated with the IBAF. The idea
of baseball as a true fixture in the Olympic Games was becoming
a reality.

IBAF
HISTORY
Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles was the venue for the 1984
Olympic Baseball demonstration tournament, which was
organized with the help of the big league club. The tournament,
won by Japan, was watched by an average stadium crowd of
48,000, making baseball the third-most popular sport at the
Olympic Games in terms of attendance.
On October 13, 1986, the efforts put forth in Los Angeles
came to fruition when, at the International Olympic Committee
Session in Lausanne, Switzerland, baseball was included in the
official programme of the 1992 Olympic Games to be hosted
by Barcelona, Spain.
In 1988, the USA won the last Olympic demonstration
tournament at the Olympic Games in Seoul, and Cuba won
the first-ever Olympic gold medal for baseball at the 1992
Olympic Games in Barcelona. The silvers went to Japan and Chinese
Taipei and the bronze went to Puerto Rico respectively.
In June 1993, at a Congress in Rome, Aldo Notari of Italy was
unanimously elected as President of the international baseball
organization. He immediately took steps towards making a crucial
change: transferring the corporate headquarters to the Olympic
capital in Lausanne, Switzerland. This was a key move, clearly
integrating baseball into the Olympic Movement.
Three years later, in 1996, the baseball tournament in the Atlanta
Olympic Games topped its own record with 1,134,203 tickets sold.
Cuba took home its second straight Olympic gold at the event, with
Japan finishing with the silver and the USA with the bronze.
In 1999, following an agreement between Major League
Baseball (MLB), the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) and the
international federation to allow the participation of non-25man roster professional players in the Sydney Games, the
federation decided to return to its roots and changed its name
to the International Baseball Federation (IBAF).
With the inclusion of professional players, the Sydney 2000 Olympic
Games baseball tournament was a tremendous success as 97.44
percent of capacity was averaged over the event’s 32 games.
There were two firsts in this Games – one, the Olympic gold
medal went to the United States (Cuba garnered the silver and
Korea, the bronze) and two, the tournament featured teams from
five continents, illustrating the growth of baseball internationally.
In the eight years since Sydney, baseball has seen many more
positive changes. In 2002, the first ever FISU World University
Baseball Championships were played, and the IBAF approved the
inception of the Women’s Baseball World Cup. Both events have

IBAF HISTORY
2004 was a year of ups and downs for the sport. The year was
highlighted by Cuba’s gold medal in the Olympic Games in Athens,
Greece. Australia took home the silver for its first Olympic baseball
medal and Japan earned the bronze. Prior to the Olympic Games,
however, baseball had learned that by the narrowest of margins, it
had been voted off the Olympic Programme for the London Games
of 2012.
Since then, as part of a global effort to return baseball to the
programme in 2016, Major League Baseball has created a new
event, the World Baseball Classic (sanctioned by the IBAF), that
features professional players from all over the world in a truly
international event held prior to the start of the regular season.
In 2006 the first World Baseball Classic was held in the
United States, with Japan winning the gold medal. The next World
Baseball Classic will be held in 2009 with four groups of teams
kicking off play in international venues around the world. The first
round of play will be held completely outside of the USA. The IBAF
has also announced that the 2009 Baseball World Cup will be
played across several European countries, rather than in Cuba where
it was originally scheduled to be played. Both the World
Baseball Classic’s move to four non-USA host cities for the first round
of the event and the Baseball World Cup’s relocation to Europe,
where baseball is still relatively new and growing, signal increased
worldwide growth and awareness of the sport.
Driving this new era of international baseball is Dr. Harvey
W. Schiller, who was elected as the President of the IBAF in 2007.
Schiller’s primary goals are to see the reinstatement of baseball in
the 2016 Olympic Games and beyond and to continue to grow the
sport around the world.
Through new initiatives, outreach, multimedia efforts and a new
Web site (IBAF.org), the IBAF works to educate those not familiar with
baseball and to celebrate one of the world’s truly global sports.
We are baseball. ™

HISTORY
HISTORIA DE LA IBAF
El primer evento internacional de béisbol fue una serie de
partidos de exhibición que se jugaron durante los Juegos Olímpicos
de St. Louis (EEUU) en 1904. La exhibición tuvo tanto éxito que el
béisbol volvió a programarse como deporte de exhibición en los
Juegos Olímpicos de 1912 en Estocolmo (Suecia). A pesar de su
popularidad, no fue hasta los años 30 cuando el béisbol se convirtió
en un foco de interés en la competición internacional.
En 1936 tuvo lugar una exhibición del béisbol en los Juegos
Olímpicos de Berlín. Esta exhibición fue un enorme éxito, ya que
92.565 espectadores llenaron el estadio olímpico para seguir
un partido entre dos equipos americanos. Este acontecimiento
presagió el futuro del deporte en el panorama internacional.
Tras el éxito de Berlín, en agosto de 1938 se celebró la primera
Copa Mundial de Béisbol en Londres. Con la participación de
sólo dos equipos, los Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña, se jugó una
serie de cinco encuentros. El equipo británico ganó cuatro de los
cinco partidos. Tras dicho acontecimiento se creó la Federación
Internacional de Béisbol (IBF).
Durante muchos años, en la Copa Mundial de Béisbol sólo
participaron de dos a cuatro países, demostrando el poco
interés que despertaba el deporte en otros países del mundo. Pero
en 1950, el béisbol internacional vio la luz: la 11ª Copa Mundial
Anual de Béisbol se celebró en Managua (Nicaragua), con una
participación récord de 12 países. Con la participación más
numerosa hasta la fecha, Cuba se proclamó campeona de la mayor
Copa Mundial de Béisbol nunca antes celebrada.
Durante los 30 años siguientes, el béisbol internacional
prosperó en todo el mundo (destacando los más de 100.000
espectadores que asistieron a otro partido de demostración en los
Juegos Olímpicos de 1956 en Melbourne). Con el paso del tiempo,
los continentes formaron sus propias federaciones de béisbol y
los países comenzaron a crear y a organizar sus propios torneos
mundiales, como los Juegos Panamericanos y la Serie Mundial
Global. El béisbol crecía rápidamente.
Durante todo ese período, Cuba se afianzó como potencia
beisbolística internacional. Muchos otros países se esforzaban por
alcanzar el nivel de los cubanos, lo que empujó al béisbol al primer
plano de la escena deportiva mundial, y por extensión, a las mentes
del Comité Olímpico Internacional.
Cuando a principios de 1978 se anunció que los Juegos
Olímpicos de 1984 se celebrarían en Los Ángeles (California, EE.UU.)

HISTORY
gone on to see much success, and both will be played in 2008 in
the Czech Republic and Japan, respectively.
El Dodger Stadium de Los Ángeles fue la sede del torneo
olímpico de demostración del béisbol de 1984, organizado con
la ayuda del club de grandes ligas. El torneo, que ganó Japón, tuvo
un aforo medio de 48.000 personas por partido, convirtiendo al
béisbol en el tercer deporte más popular de unos juegos olímpicos
en cuanto a asistencia de público.
El 13 de octubre de 1986, los esfuerzos realizados en Los
Ángeles dieron sus frutos cuando, en la Sesión del Comité Olímpico
Internacional en Lausana (Suiza), el béisbol fue incluido en el
programa oficial de los Juegos Olímpicos de Barcelona 1992
(España).
En 1988, los EE.UU. ganaron el último torneo olímpico de
demostración en los Juegos Olímpicos de Seúl, y Cuba se hizo con
la primera medalla de oro olímpica para el béisbol en los Juegos
Olímpicos de Barcelona 1992. Las platas fueron para Japón y China
Taipei y el bronce para Puerto Rico.
En junio de 1993, en un Congreso en Roma, el italiano Aldo
Notari fue elegido por unanimidad Presidente de la organización.
Inmediatamente se puso manos a la obra para conseguir un cambio
importantísimo: trasladar la sede de la IBAF a la capital olímpica,
Lausana (Suiza). Fue un movimiento crucial, que pretendía integrar
claramente al béisbol en el Movimiento Olímpico.
Tres años después, en 1996, el torneo de béisbol de los Juegos
Olímpicos de Atlanta hizo saltar por los aires su propio record,
con 1.134.203 entradas vendidas. Cuba se llevó su segundo oro
olímpico seguido, Japón se alzó con la plata y los EE.UU. con
el bronce.
En 1999, tras un acuerdo entre la Major League Baseball (MLB), la
Asociación de Jugadores de la MLB (MLBPA) y la federación internacional para permitir la participación de jugadores profesionales
no incluidos en el roster de 25 hombres en los Juegos Olímpicos de
Sydney, la organización decidió regresar a sus raíces y cambió su
nombre para llamarse Federación Internacional de Béisbol (IBAF).
Con la inclusión de jugadores profesionales, la competición de
béisbol de los Juegos Olímpicos de Sydney 2000 fue un tremendo
éxito, alcanzando una media del 97,44 por ciento de asistencia
en los 32 partidos del torneo. Durante esos Juegos hubo dos
ganadores: uno, los Estados Unidos, que se llevaron la medalla de
oro olímpica (Cuba ganó la plata y Corea, el bronce); y dos, en el
torneo participaron equipos de cinco continentes, lo que ilustra el
crecimiento del béisbol a nivel internacional.

IBAF
HISTORY
En los ocho años transcurridos desde Sydney, el béisbol ha
experimentado muchos cambios positivos e importantes. En 2002
se celebraron los primeros Campeonatos Mundiales de Béisbol
Universitario, y la IBAF dio su visto bueno a la organización de
la Copa Mundial de Béisbol Femenino. Ambos acontecimientos
han cosechado un gran éxito, y ambos se jugarán en 2008 en la
República Checa y Japón, respectivamente.
2004 fue un año de altibajos para nuestro deporte. Destacó
la medalla de oro de Cuba en los Juegos Olímpicos de Atenas
(Grecia). Australia se alzó con su primera medalla olímpica de
béisbol, la de plata, y Japón ganó el bronce. Sin embargo, antes de
las Olimpiadas, el béisbol supo que por un estrechísimo margen
había sido eliminado del Programa Olímpico para los Juegos de
Londres 2012.
Desde entonces, en un esfuerzo mundial por conseguir que el
béisbol vuelva al programa olímpico en 2016, la Major League
Baseball ha puesto en marcha una nueva competición, el Clásico
Mundial de Béisbol, un torneo verdaderamente internacional en
el que juegan profesionales de todo el mundo y que se celebra
justo antes del comienzo de la temporada regular. En 2006, la
primera edición del Clásico Mundial de Béisbol se celebró en los
Estados Unidos, donde Japón ganó el oro. El próximo Clásico
Mundial de Béisbol se jugará en 2009, con cuatro grupos de
equipos que se enfrentarán en distintos estadios internacionales
de todo el mundo. Toda la primera ronda se jugará fuera de los
Estados Unidos. La IBAF ha anunciado también que la Copa
Mundial de Béisbol 2009 se jugará en varios países europeos,
y no en Cuba, donde estaba inicialmente prevista. Tanto el
Clásico Mundial de Béisbol, cuya primera fase se desarrollará en
cuatro ciudades no estadounidenses, como el traslado de la
Copa del Mundo de Béisbol a Europa, donde el béisbol es
todavía relativamente nuevo pero está en pleno desarrollo, son
señales crecientes del auge y conocimiento de nuestro deporte a
nivel mundial.
Liderando esta nueva era del béisbol internacional está el
Dr. Harvey W. Schiller, elegido Presidente de la IBAF en 2007.
Los principales objetivos de Schiller son la reincorporación del
béisbol en los Juegos Olímpicos de 2016 y en adelante, y continuar
desarrollando el deporte en todo el mundo.
A través de nuevas iniciativas, campañas de promoción, proyectos
multimedia y una nueva página Web (IBAF.org), la IBAF trabaja para
educar a los que no conocen el béisbol y para rendir tributo a uno
de los deportes más genuinamente mundiales que existen.
Somos el béisbol.™

HISTORY OF BASEBALL
IN THE Olympic Games
Following the Los Angeles Games, and Cuba’s run to the gold,
baseball was added to the Olympic Programme by the International
Olympic Committee. Although not officially on the programme until
1992, the world watched as the Americans took the gold medal at
the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.
Since then, Cuba has reigned over the Olympic baseball scene,
winning the golds in the Barcelona (ESP) 1992 Olympic Games, the
1996 Games in Atlanta, GA. (USA) and in 2004 in Athens (GRE). The
Cubans took silver to the United States in the 2000 Olympic Games
in Sydney (AUS). In the process, baseball has grown into one of the
most popular sports in the Olympic Games.
El béisbol hizo su debut en la escena internacional como deporte
de exhibición en Estocolmo en 1912. A pesar de la popularidad del
béisbol durante esos juegos olímpicos y también en Melbourne 44
años después, donde se registró el récord de asistencia a un solo
partido de béisbol con más de 100.000 espectadores, no fue hasta
los Juegos Olímpicos de Los Ángeles 1984 cuando el béisbol fue
plenamente considerado como deporte olímpico.
Tras los Juegos de Los Ángeles, donde Cuba se llevó la medalla
de oro, el béisbol fue añadido al programa olímpico por el Comité
Olímpico Internacional. Aunque no estuvo oficialmente dentro del
programa hasta 1992, el mundo pudo ver a los estadounidenses
alzarse con la medalla de oro en los Juegos Olímpicos de Seúl
1988.
Desde entonces, Cuba ha reinado sobre la escena olímpica del
béisbol, ganando el oro en los Juegos Olímpicos Barcelona 1992
(ESP), Atlanta 1996 (EEUU) y Atenas 2004 (GRE). Los cubanos
quedaron con la plata ante los Estados Unidos en los Juegos
Olímpicos de Sydney 2000 (AUS). Con el tiempo, el béisbol se
ha convertido en uno de los deportes más populares en los
Juegos Olímpicos.
Sin embargo, ahora que los ocho equipos clasificados se
preparan para los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín 2008, existe la triste
posibilidad de que caiga el telón sobre el béisbol olímpico. Después
de la votación del Comité Olímpico Internacional que sacó al béisbol
del programa olímpico para las olimpiadas de Londres 2012, los
juegos de Pekín significan mucho para el béisbol. Los equipos no
sólo competirán por ganar medallas: también jugarán por el futuro
olímpico del béisbol.
With the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, upon us, baseball faces
the possibility of this being the sport’s Olympic curtain call. With
the International Olympic Committee voting baseball off the
Olympic Programme for the 2012 London Games, the Beijing Games
mean more to the sport than ever before. Not only will the teams
be competing for a gold medal, but they will also be playing for
baseball’s Olympic future as well.

HISTORY OF BASEBALL
IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES
HISTORY OF BASEBALL
Baseball made its debut on the Olympic stage as a demonstration
sport at Stockholm in 1912. As popular as baseball was at those
Olympic Games and in Melbourne 44 years later where it set the
baseball single-game attendance record with over 100,000 spectators, it was not until the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games that
baseball was fully embraced as an Olympic staple.

Copa Mundial de Béisbol IBAF
La Copa Mundial de Béisbol IBAF (BWC) es un torneo internacional
aprobado por la IBAF. Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña fueron los dos
únicos equipos que participaron en la primera edición en 1938,
cuando Gran Bretaña derrotó a los EEUU en cuatro de los cinco
partidos y se llevó la medalla de oro. El número de aficionados fue
en aumento, la BWC continuó creciendo, y a partir de 1950, la Copa
Mundial se convirtió en parte integrante del béisbol internacional.
The IBAF Baseball World Cup (BWC) is an international event that
is sanctioned by the IBAF. In 1938, the United States and Great
Britain were the only teams involved in the inaugural event, with
Great Britain defeating the USA in four of the five games to win
the gold medal. With an increasing fan base, the BWC continued
to grow, and from 1950 on, the event became a fixture within the
international baseball community.
As the BWC grew, so did the level by which Cuba dominated. The
international power has medaled in 29 of the 37 tournaments and
leads all countries in gold medal finishes with 25. The United States
and Venezuela are tied for second in gold medals with three.
The United States won the 2007 IBAF Baseball World Cup title for
only the third time ever, beating Cuba 6-3 in the final. This was the
first time that the United States won the Baseball World Cup when
Cuba was also competing in the event. Cuba, going for its 10th
straight Baseball World Cup championship, came in second while
Japan shutout the Netherlands in the bronze medal match, 5-0. The
United States’ lone loss of the tournament came in a 6-2 upset loss
to Italy. The next IBAF Baseball World Cup will be held in Italy and
throughout Europe in 2009, and will be an environmentally-friendly
“green” event.
A medida que se desarrollaba la Copa Mundial, aumentaba el
dominio de Cuba. Esta potencia internacional ha cosechado
medallas en 29 de los 37 torneos celebrados hasta la fecha es
líder en el medallero, con 25 medallas de oro. Estados Unidos
y Venezuela le siguen, empatados con tres medallas de oro
cada uno.
Los Estados Unidos ganaron por tercera vez el título de la Copa
Mundial del Béisbol de la IBAF en 2007, venciendo a Cuba
por 6-3 en la final. Era la primera vez que los Estados Unidos
ganaban la Copa Mundial de Béisbol compitiendo también Cuba.
Precisamente los cubanos, que iban en pos de su 10º triunfo
seguido en la Copa Mundial de Béisbol, quedaron segundos,
mientras que Japón vencía por 5-0 a los Países Bajos en el partido
por la medalla de bronce. La única derrota de los Estados Unidos
en el torneo fue contra Italia, con un resultado de 6-2 abajo. La
próxima Copa Mundial de Béisbol de la IBAF se celebrará en Italia
y en otros países europeos en 2009 y será un evento que no hace
daño al medioambiente.

The IBAF “AA” World Youth Championships (16U) is an
international event that features the premier 16-and-under baseball
talent throughout the world. What started as an annual event has
now become a bi-annual tournament. Cuba and the United States
have dominated the World Youths, with five and three gold medals,
respectively. The last IBAF “AA” World Youth Championships (16U)
was held in 2005 with Cuba winning its fifth gold medal. The 2007
event was played, but was not sanctioned by the IBAF, and the next
event will be held in 2009.

convertido en un torneo bi-anual. Cuba y los Estados Unidos son
los protagonistas del medallero en los “AA” Campeonatos
Mundiales Juveniles IBAF (16U): Cuba ha ganado cinco medallas
de oro y los Estados Unidos han ganado tres. Los últimos “AA”
Campeonatos Mundiales Juveniles IBAF (16U) se celebraron en

II Women’s Baseball World Cup
The IBAF Women’s Baseball World Cup is still a relatively new
addition among the IBAF’s international competitions. In its first year
– in 2004 – the IBAF Women’s Baseball World Cup featured five
nations, with the United States securing the gold medal in a 2-0
shutout of Japan in the finals. In 2006, the number of participating
teams increased, further illustrating the growth of the sport internationally among the female baseball community. With more fans in
attendance than ever before, seven teams gathered in Taipei to see
the United States bring home the gold, again taking down Japan in
the final, 13-11.
The United States is looking for a three-peat in the summer of
2008 as the IBAF Women’s Baseball World Cup will be played in
Matsuyama, Japan. Making an appearance in this tournament will
again be Canada, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei, and
newcomers India and Korea.
La Copa Mundial de Béisbol Femenino IBAF sigue siendo
relativamente reciente entre las competiciones internacionales de
la IBAF. En su primera edición – en 2004 – la Copa Mundial de
Béisbol Femenino contó con cinco naciones participantes, y los
Estados Unidos ganaron la medalla de oro en la final contra Japón
por 2-0. En 2006, el número de equipos aumentó, lo que ilustra
muy claramente el crecimiento del béisbol femenino a nivel
mundial. Con más público que nunca, siete equipos se enfrentaron
en Taipei y los Estados Unidos ganaron el oro, venciendo una vez
más a Japón en la final por 13-11.
