As a preliminary test for the Olympic facilities in Beijing, the ‘Good Luck Beijing’ Tournament was held in a variety of sports, including baseball, which was played at the specially-constructed (and now demolished) Wukesong Field. The tournament was in the third week of August, 2007.We at Extra Innings love an obscure baseball tournament, and it would appear there are no records of all the matches in one place, despite them being IBAF (now WBSC)-approved.
