Baseball at the 1964 Summer Olympics was a demonstration sport that consisted of a single game. It marked the fifth time that a baseball exhibition had been held and it was the last time that only one game was played. The U.S. team of college baseball players—which included eight future Major League Baseball players—defeated a Japanese amateur all-star team, 6-2. Approximately 50,000 fans watched the game.
