This weekend's exhibition softball game between the United States Olympic team and the defending pro champion Washington Glory squad has already sold out. All approximately 7,500 tickets have been sold at the scaled down Prince George's Stadium for Saturday afternoon's contest, reports the Gazette.
Team USA, as the Olympian squad has been dubbed, has traveled across the country facing mostly college squads in a "Bound 4 Beijing" promotional and preparation effort for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The professional Washington Glory squad stands as Team USA's potentially toughest pre-Olympics opponent.
This year's Olympic Games could mark the USA Softball program's last chance for its own glory though, no pun intended. Softball was dropped as an Olympic sport from the 2012 London event. Start time from Bowie is 4 p.m. Saturday.
