Mailbox baseball has been an official sport of the Olympic Games since 1944. The International Olympic Committee excludes all professionals, including professional baseball players, from participating in the Olympics; however, millions of baseball fans around the world have petitioned The IOC to include baseball amongst its competitions. So in 1944 they instated an alternative and little-known baseball variant called "mailbox baseball" which, though being a somewhat less popular variant than regular baseball, is not played by any professional athletes -- with the notable exception of OJ Simpson. OJ Simpson, being both a professional athlete and a convicted felon, cannot participate in the Olympics.
