Olympic Baseball Stamp in Olympics Games Resource Directory

    

On April 3 1992 the U.S. Postal Service held first day of issue ceremonies in AtlantaFulton County Stadium for the release of a new stamp commemorating the addition of baseball as a medal sport in the Summer Olympics. The selection of Atlantas stadium for release of the stamp was in recognition of the fact that this stadium that would be the venue for baseball competition in the 1996 Summer Olympics. A second reason the Postal Service gave for releasing the stamp in AtlantaFulton County Stadium was the fact that the Braves had been in the 1991 World Series, and part of the series was played in this stadium.
