It turns out that there actually is a US baseball national team but they get even less press than the Women's Soccer Team did before WWC '99. The team is limited to amateurs, generally the top college players in the country. Baseball became an official Olympic sport in 1992 (one Olympiad before women's soccer; men's soccer was the first olympic team sport starting in 1924). It was a demonstration sport as early as 1912. The USA Baseball web page describes the first game: Baseball was first introduced as part of the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden. The USA was scheduled to play an amateur baseball club formed in Sweden called the Vesteras. After seeing the Americans warm-up, the Vesteras were convinced they could not compete with the Americans and asked the Americans to loan them a pitcher and catcher, which they did. Even so, the U.S. downed the Vesteras 13-3 and Olympic baseball was born.

In 1998 McGwire hit 70 homers, breaking the single-season record of 61 set in 1961 by Roger Maris of the New York Yankees. McGwire's record was eclipsed three years later by Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants, who hit 73 home runs. Born in Pomona, California, Mark David McGwire began his baseball career as a pitcher—as did Babe Ruth , another famed home run hitter. After McGwire graduated from high school, the Montr©al Expos drafted him, but he turned down their offer and instead attended the University of Southern California (USC). At USC McGwire began to concentrate on hitting rather than pitching, and in 1984 he broke the school’s single-season home run record. That year he also played on the United States national team during the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, and he was drafted by the Oakland Athletics of the American League (AL).

105. Go Ask Alice!: Androstenedione (made Famous By Baseball's Mark McGwire) -- Is It Dear Alice, My question is about nutritional supplements, specifically androstenedione and its closely related cousins. I have a fiveday-a-week workout http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1385.html

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Supplements and ergogenic aids Androstenedione (made famous by baseball's Mark McGwire) Is it safe? Originally Published: October 23, 1998 Dear Alice, My question is about nutritional supplements, specifically androstenedione and its closely related cousins. I have a five-day-a-week workout routine, and I have been searching for a supplement that will give me the greatest benefit for all of that hard work. I am, however, very concerned about the negative effects of some of these unregulated supplements. My question then is, what kind of side effects can I truly expect from using one of the male hormone precursors like androstenedione? And, in your opinion, is it safe? Dear Reader, Let's first take a look at androstenedione. Androstenedione is a direct precursor hormone to testosterone, as well as to other hormones, including one type of estrogen. It is converted from cholesterol, as are all other steroid hormones. Biochemically, a reaction, or chain of reactions, occurs in order to convert molecule A into molecule B. Specific enzymes and hormones, among other things, must be present and ready to work, so to speak, for these conversions to take place. For example, luteinizing hormone, produced and released by the pituitary gland, plays a pivotal role in converting androstenedione to testosterone. Simply introducing extra androstenedione to your system does not automatically mean that all of the necessary players will be there to produce testosterone.
