Baseball was again a demonstration sport at the 1936 Summer Olympics after a 24-year absence. It would become an official sport 56 years later at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Both of the teams that played in Berlin were from the United States.
The exhibition game was played on 12 August 1936 in front of 90,000 spectators in Berlin's Olympic Stadium. The two teams were named the "World Champions" and the "U. S. Olympics". The World Champions won, 6–5.
Leslie Mann, who had pushed strongly for inclusion of baseball as an Olympic sport, was the umpire.
