I don't think it was a popularity issue with baseball - it was a talent issue. The professional leagues in America and Asia play during the Olympics season, and no teams were going to release any talented players to participate. Even minor leaguers were reluctant to play, because they didn't want to miss a call-up. We ended up fielding a team primarily of college players, and while the results were good, the product was not of an "Olympic quality".
