no it is not in the Olympics. it's not in the Olympics because since it is an American sport, USA Dominates in baseball and softball. So the olympic omittee doesn't think it's fair because no other countries have a chance.

Generally, the team to beat is The Canadians. Why? Canada's national sport is ice hockey. However, in current Olympics the three teams to beat are USA, Canada and Russia. Because USA beat Canadian in a match game of the Olympics, the Americans are the favorites to win the gold.
