Fredrick's Story
Born in 1973, Fredrick Lindberg was part of the Australian baseball team that competed at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. Lindberg was 22 when he reached the Olympic stage, representing Australia during a period when baseball was still establishing its place on the Olympic program and the national team was building greater international depth.

His place in that team remains the defining mark of his Olympic career.
