I came across
this blog post at the Washington Post. It describes the U.S. versus the Netherlands Olympic baseball game. Highlights of the match:
- Multiple hours long rain delays due to monsoon level rains.
- Only the dedicated U.S. parents and die-hard Dutch fans (50 including reporters) remain through the delays.
- Teammates holed up in dugouts surviving on Chinese crackers.
- Mothers in the stands offering players fruit roll-ups from their purses.
- The game gets called, but the Dutch, who are losing 0-7, protest.
- The solution to the Dutch protest comes down to a distinction between procedures and substantive rules.
It's law and little league wrapped up into one Olympic match. Absolutely fantastic!

Fruit roll ups!! That's awesome. I hope someone took all those players out for pizza and ice cream once that one was finally over.
