Although baseball was played as a demonstration sport in seven former Olympic Games, the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona were the first where the game was played as an official sport. To commemorate this milestone in the history of America's favorite pastime, a stamp featuring an action-packed image of a baserunner attempting to evade the tag of an opposing player was issued. It was released in Atlanta, Georgia, site of the 1996 Summer Games and home of the 1991 National League pennant winners - the Atlanta Braves.
