What is Baseball at the 1912 Summer Olympics?
'''[[Baseball]]''' had its first appearance at the '''[[1912 Summer Olympics]]''' as an [[demonstration sport|exhibition sport]]. A game was played between the [[United States]], the nation where the game was developed, and [[Sweden]], the host nation. The game was held on Monday, 15 July 1912 and started at 10 [[12-hour clock|a.m.]] on the [[Ostermalm Athletic Grounds]] in [[Stockholm]]. The Americans were represented by various members of the American Olympic track and field athletics delegation, while the Swedish team was the [[Vesterås Baseball Club]], which had been formed in 1910 as the first baseball club in Sweden. Four of the Americans played for Sweden, as the Swedish [[pitcher]]s and [[catcher]]s were inexperienced. One Swede eventually relieved Adams and Nelson, the American pitchers. Six innings were played, with the Americans not batting in the sixth and allowing the Swedes to have six outs in their half of the inning. The game was umpired by [[George Wright (sportsman)|George Wright]], a retired American [[National League]] baseball player. ==Game result== {| class=wikitable !
