1996
Softball's first year as an Olympic sport was 1996. Unfortunately, softball is being dropped as an Olympic sport after the 2008 Games in Beijing.
No. For 12 years (since 1996) softball was part of the Olympics, but 2008 was the last year it was. It has been removed from the olympic games, and will not be a part of the 2012 London games. Softball is not in the Olympics coming up do to lack of supporters of the sport. It was in the last Olympics but not 2012.

Baseball is an Olympic event, the first game is Aug. 13. This is the last year for softball and baseball unless the Olympic committee makes a change, they voted to drop it after this year. Some think that the committee thinks baseball is so heavily dominated by the US, they want to drop it and that the committee thinks softball is women's baseball so they should drop it also.
