A single baseball game was played as a demonstration in Berlin on the night of 12 August within the main Olympic Stadium. The game was played by two American teams, labelled the World Champions and the Olympics, with the World Champions winning, 6-5. The game was unusual enough in Germany at the time that some of the baseball rules were printed in the programs to explain it to the spectators.
