There's no crying in baseball. But, the truth is a lot of tears were shed when the Olympics dropped baseball and softball from its sports lineup after the 2008 Beijing Summer Games.
Each host city has the opportunity to add sports to their Olympic schedule.
Japan loves baseball. So, baseball and softball are back for the first time in 13 years.
That was great news for Team USA softball players who have struggled to make a living in the sport since 2008.
The return of softball is also the return of legendary player Cat Osterman.
She's one of two members of the U.S. Olympic Softball Team with any Olympic experience. Osterman came out of retirement for a shot at another Olympic gold.
"It was full circle. I went to the youngest to the oldest (on the team) now but, yeah, there was a 13-year gap between the last Olympics and this one. It's been a sport that I think has been missing the Olympics. I know, specifically I have missed being in the Olympics," said Osterman.
