Following the leads of USA Basketball and Hockey, USA Baseball will field a team of professionals—though not current major leaguers—for the 2000 Games in Sydney. Led by former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, a team made up of professionals will attempt to reverse the fortunes of the U.S., which has only one bronze medal from the two Olympics in which baseball has been a medal sport. In the meantime here's a Dream Team lineup of Barcelona and Atlanta alumni now in the big leagues and thus not available for the Summer Olympics.—David Sabino
