The Greek government recently established the Hellenic Amateur Baseball Federation for the purpose of establishing baseball in Greece and assembling a competitive team for the 2004 Games.
Ideally, the Greek National Team would be comprised of citizens of Greece; however, it is unlikely that Greek baseball players can reach a level of proficiency soon enough to play competitively in 2004.
Therefore, the Greek government, in cooperation with the International Olympic Committee, has agreed that any person of Greek descent who has at least one grandparent (from either side of the family) born in Greece qualifies to participate in the 2004 Olympics.
