LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Baseball and softball leaders have agreed on a name for the new unified international body seeking a place in the 2020 Olympics.
The World Baseball Softball Confederation will govern both sports in their joint bid for a return to the games.
The name was announced Monday following approval of the merger by the International Baseball Federation and International Softball Federation.
The group will be led by co-presidents Don Porter and Riccardo Fraccari. Porter is current president of the ISF; Fraccari heads the IBAF. Both men are in Lausanne this week for presentations to the IOC program commission.
