TAKE ME OUT OF THE BALL GAME: Enjoy your Jennie Finch while you can -- baseball and softball have been dropped from 2012 Olympics, the first time since 1936 (polo) that a sport has been dropped from the Games.
Rugby, karate, squash and "roller sports" were among those sports considered for addition, but none had sufficient support, and modern pentathlon -- designated for the axe by many -- has survived to run, shoot, fence, swim and ride another day.
