The Dwarves posted the 2nd best regular season record with a 107-55 mark led by Tom Glavine's remarkable season (27-3, 2.33 ERA) as well as sluggers Ron Gant (.264/.366/.584, 48 HR, 125 RBI) and Rafael Palmeiro (.296/.360/.555, 45 HR, 158 RBI). This was a deep that also featured Craig Biggio (.248/.351/.452, 31 HR, 139 R, 23 SB), Moises Aloe (31 HR, .535 slugging), Wade Boggs (.302 avg, 101 R), Mark Portugal (18-9, 3.93 ERA), Dennis Eckersley (1.94 ERA, 33 saves) and a host of others. Nidavellir then made quick work of their playoff opponents cruising to a 12-3 postseason mark to capture the 1996 SPB4 championship. Ron Gant was named World Series MVP blasting 4 homers and 10 RBIs in a 4-1 series win over the Frankfort Hot Dogs.

1995 Ownership List Finalized!

The 1994 season marked the end of an era for SPB4 as venerable leader John Turnbull decided to step down as commish after many years of honorable service.

This quickly led to a number of open teams but thanks largely to the efforts of Chris Williams those 7 openings have been quickly filled!

Please join me in welcoming the following new SPB4 owners:
- John Parker (Vancouver Venom)
- Jim Condon (Woods Hole Frogmen)
- Tom Kackley (Beach City Wailers)
- Dave Lauer (East Kenosha Lakers)
- Kevin Murphy (Long Beach Tides)
- Chris Cannan (Tualatin Thunder)
- Don Holcomb (Death Valley Gunfighters)

The new owners and the league office will quickly begin planning and preparations for the upcoming dispersal draft as they look to build a championship lineup!
